Dear Decision Maker,

In 2000 I immigrated to Phoenix from my native Croatia. I was excited to learn English, immediately enrolled at a local community college and secured employment as a pizza delivery driver. I postponed the use of my operations management-executive expertise to facilitate mastering English and soon became and English speaker and the top delivery-producer. Within 18 months my English teachers advised me I was able to transition to a new position. I chose face to face auto sales to improve my textbook learning of English as it demanded accurate communication skills. I earned the distinction of being a top sales producer (consistently ranked in the top three) at two local auto dealerships within 6 years. As a result of these successes I am now eager to contribute my Executive background, M.B.A. and US experiences to a company committed to increasing profitability through innovation and continuous process improvements.

My successful Croatian/Bosnian business career included roles as President/GM and FA&P Director for two clothing manufacturers, FA&P Executive Director for a National Television company, Senior FA&P Director of a printing & publishing company and Sales Manager for a trading company of home-building materials. In these capacities I primary: Analyzed, Planned, Priced, Increased Profits, Met Cost Control Objectives and Developed Controlling, Hired, Coached and Mentored High Performance Financial Teams.

I am a decisive, high-energy, passionate, multi-lingual, business professional with 20 years of executive leadership experiences and specialty in startups and turning around of businesses. I am interested in contributing my accumulated versatile knowledge and international diversified work experience in financial analyzing and reporting, developing business plans, increasing revenue flow, reducing operational costs, establishing the protocols of constant process improvements and persistent reaching financial targets.

As a long-standing expert in designing strategies I have initiated continuous improvements of operational processes and financial performances through strategic and operational analyzing, planning, budgeting, staff mentoring and teaching. I have demonstrated that I am a passionate team builder/player and strong contingency leader – very comfortable in complex situations that require simultaneously multi-tasking. I initiate and provide vision, direction and finding new solutions using my well-developed problem resolution skills and without hesitation assume responsibility for independently executing decisions in many different situations.

I have proven myself to be a quick and active learner, action-driven problem solver, self-starter, creative thinker, and high-energy achiever. I am an individual who takes pride in maintaining the highest level of personal and professional integrity through all activities. My talents, practical capabilities and exceptional transferable skills are not limited to one specific industry but can be successfully applied across several industries and business administration fields.

I have enclosed my Resume for your review and look forward to meeting with you and exploring, in depth, how I may assist you with achieving your goals.

Sincerely,

Haris Hadziosmanovic, MBA ~
