Introduction/cover letter

My objective is to ensure that I’m employed within an organization that has goals to not just meet but to exceed stakeholder expectations. I’m looking to continue expanding on my experience, and continue building a reputation for delivering desired results by leveraging relationships, technology, data and analytics, and innovative solutions. My experience includes managing teams, including project teams, across multiple locations and divisions, and achieving project objectives while successfully moving the needle on organizational goals. I’m passionate about working with all levels of an organization and clients to develop and execute on a strategy that will make our team a leader in the industry, and in the top tier of the peer group’s performance metrics. I have been fortunate to partner with great teams, that leveraged my experience in managing strategic initiatives, construction projects, technology planning and operational excellence using continuous improvement to truly push the capabilities of the systems and people that we invest in. My Operations and Administration experience in project management, performance management, process improvement initiatives (Lean & Six Sigma Certified), and operational workflow management have contributed to the success of the organizations that I have been so fortunate to partner with. My Sales experience as a Strategy Officer and Director of Operations included leading Consumer Loan Origination, CRM administration, partnering with each business line to develop and execute sales initiatives. My greatest achievements in my career have been assisting stakeholders to achieve their strategic and operational goals, by translating the strategy into actionable goals, and driving increases in sales and earning per share. While I joined the workforce at an entry level position, I have now held key roles in management with success and had the fortunate opportunity to gain valuable experience as both a decision maker and an innovative leader and problem solver. I’m requesting to meet with you because I feel my knowledge and experience will add value with an emphasis on teamwork and leadership, and will put the organization closer to the desired performance and strategic goals. I would truly appreciate your time and any opportunity for a discussion, thank you.
