I’m a business strategist focused on developing new ideas and seeing them through from introduction to completion. I’m a versatile person who has spent extensive time within the engineering, manufacturing, operations, sales, and product management worlds to understand how each works and how they need to work together. My diverse portfolio of skills is what I consider my strongest characteristic and why I thoroughly enjoy the development working with new ideas and seeing business strategies to fruition. At Vahle, Inc. I transformed an outdated business model with unmotivated independent representatives into a geographic based internal sales organization. I also created a US marketing team that rebranded a European sales message into a strategy that spoke directly to domestic customers, increasing market awareness, digital presence, and ultimately sales volume. At Scientific Drilling, I inherited an organization with quality, delivery, and customer services issues during one of the worst downturns in the O&G industry. Within a year I had completely redesigned my department, resulting in 40% increase in output, decrease scrap by 20% and 25% reduction in inventory. As technical product manager at LORD Corporation, I led the introduction of LORD into the downhole drilling market. This included several new long-term ventures that cemented LORD as a player in the market. For Reme Technologies, I developed a start-up venture resulting in profitability within 3 months of business launch and full ROI within 6 months. At National Oilwell Varco, I served as the product line manager for the largest product offering within the Wellbore Technologies group. Revenue grew from $250MM to $375MM within 4 years and I launched 4 new product offerings, resulting in $75MM in new revenue.
