William “Jordan” Wendelken

Chief Operations Officer - Chief Marketing Officer

About Me:

As an executive level operations and marketing professional I have learned that, apart from experience, communication and patience is the most valuable tool for leading a team.

I hold most valuable my ability to carefully and dutifully communicate in a way that not only resonates with all parties but effectively and efficiently meets the set goals. Creating processes help to organize a group when achieving routine-based tasks. Those processes or systems should take into account all members who will use it while also working within the boundaries of the company. My skillset in leading teams and building these systems spans over 15 years with university degrees in leadership, marketing, and education.

I have helped build non-profits, government contracted businesses, and organizations of various size for over 15 years including manufacturing, medical, and e-commerce businesses. My time building trading companies in overseas markets helped to establish my strength in manufacturing and logistics for import and export trade. I have led teams all over the world to help build, sell, and move products in tech/electronics, engineering, food and beverage, medical supplies and equipment, textiles, disposables, and more.

Working for and with large and small firms with billion dollar revenue and multi million dollar budgets in both national and international markets, I have helped improve their bottom line and efficiency from the manufacturing level to the project management level. Using my skills in writing, web development, creative design, leadership and more I have created workplace documents/workbooks, integrated task management/ CRM/ERP systems, and built small teams into large scale businesses. My personal goal is to develop a long term working relationship with a team and company focused on growth and advancement of both employees and company objectives. I look to use all of my background and experience to help in motivating and expediting this process towards long term success. Jordan Wendelken

• Leave No Trace Master Educator

• Wilderness Medical Certified

• Military/adventure survival certified instructor As a wilderness survival instructor, outdoor educator, collegiate and professional coach, and academic teacher I learned to communicate and work with individuals and teams to accomplish goals and milestones. This has given me much opportunity to understand and perceive personality and character differences and how to effectively balance those differences for efficient and quality production and work.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

• Created multiple large and small successful events from trade shows to public city events to private golf tournaments with 100-10,000 attendees.

• Currently ranked top 5 in the U.S. as a volleyball coach for youth, college, adult, and professional players on CoachUp.com. As a highly ranked and sought-after coach in the United States I have had to represent myself as a professional and accountable resource. Many players come in from locations over 200 miles away for one-hour lessons. This has allowed me to develop plans catered specifically to individuals and help lead them through that growth process as an athlete.

• Science, Entrepreneurship, and Marketing sub for middle school and high school in both Texas and California. This experience as a leader and information resource allowed me to perfect my public speaking and team building within a classroom setting.

Hosted national webinars for medical and marketing industries for hundreds of attendees.
