SUMMARY:

Looking for a Vice President of Sales position. My process for strategically planning and developing new business differentiates me from other candidates. All managers use metrics and goals but for 15+ years my process has focused on the typical missing-links of “Efficient-structure” and the “How to” build quality into those metric tactics in a scalable manner. Executing strategies to turn-around sales, aligning marketing tactics to goals, or developing value solutions in current or new market segments is what makes me successful with key customers.
