Summary: In 2015, I worked with various companies as a contractor providing business development services in the form of customized BD plans, refining and petrochemical introductions to key decision makers, and PQF execution. I worked for companies that serviced the following LOB’s: hydro excavation ($6M), thermal overlay and coatings ($30M), emergency response life support facilities ($8M), and catalyst materials for reactors ($10M).
In 2014, I developed business plans and set priorities to target new opportunities for Clean Harbors Environmental Services (catalyst handling, reclamation, and disposal) within the Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas region; as it specifically relates to the refining and petrochemical industry. My “major” client/contact list includes: Exxon, Valero, P66, Air Products, Chevron, Holly Frontier, Shell, Marathon, CVR Energy, Arkema, Lyondell, BASF, and DOW. There are numerous other contacts within my territory that have been established and are available upon request. My current revenue budget of responsibility represents the largest catalyst technology services Line of Business (LOB) budget for Clean Harbors (out of 6 regions). Industry wide, my revenue responsibility is in the top 3 for catalyst technology service companies in North America. I was successful in being awarded a $1.4M catalyst handling project for Formosa Plastics that is due to be performed in the third quarter of 2014. I was also responsible for getting Clean Harbors Environmental Services registered/qualified as a Tier 1 contractor with Exxon Baytown. Performance
