Summary:

As the Sales Manager of a Global business unit, it is imperative that one understands all aspects of the interior / exterior trim requirements and materials, including lamination, all forms of technology-based scrims, foam (open-closed cell & molded) all textiles (non-woven, cloth, vinyl, and leather) injection and blow molded plastics, metal and alloys, both stamped and casted along with the environment in which they need to survive in.

Throughout my career I have been able to optimize my extensive involvement with interior and exterior and under the hood challenges within the OEM’s and Major Tier 1-2-3 supply base.

My team orientated strategy and involvement with technology-based materials has been the key driver in my success, allowing me to provide value added solutions that has achieved sustainable long term profitable growth as a preferred supplier for every company I have had the pleasure to work for.

Success is not measured merely by the maintaining of existing customers.

Future growth is based on the relationships you build through understanding of the markets environment, customer needs and competitive advantages you can provide vs your competition, and most importantly, following through with commitments that are made.

After reviewing my resume, should you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time,
