Bill Slezak is a Vice President Sales and Business Development. Colleagues describe him as "I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bill during his successful tenure at Rubbermaid Commercial Products. During that time, and still today, I view Bill as a trusted business coworker who I have admired for his high level of energy, integrity, professionalism, and his unique ability to formulate a strategy that would positively impact our business. We’ve worked closely together on business teams in the past to develop key initiatives to help our domestic and international selling organizations drive revenues and improve gross margins. He was always willing to take a leadership position on the team and would bring a big picture view to the development of a solution we were trying to create. Bill is a valuable resource that will be missed but a great asset to any company that he is associated with.", "I had the opportunity to work with Bill on the Board of Directors of AHE, formally known as ASHES and as a customer of Rubbermaid products at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. In both roles Bill has always been very directed and passionate about what he does. As a provider of healthcare products Bill was very in tuned to the nuisances of the healthcare sector and how it differed from the commercial market. Bill was always open to the needs of the customer and worked diligently to meet those needs. As a member of the AHE Board of Directors, Bill not only listened but understood the variances, needs and wants of his peers on the Board, the members whom he has always worked so closely with to meet their needs as well as the vendor partners. I was so impressed with Bill's ability to incorporate all of these very differing and sometimes opposing issues and needs of our members and vendor partners, that when I was elected President in 2008, I asked Bill to be my Vice President. During his tenure on the board as both the Vendor liaison and Vice President he worked to create opportunities and interactions between the Vendors, the Association and the membership. He expanded the Healthcare sector of Rubbermaid to an entirely different level in the environmental sanitation arena, because of his understanding the differences between commercial cleaning and healthcare cleaning. It was an honor and a privilege to work with Bill in both areas of my professional career.", and "Bill and I collaborated on several projects while I was at Jefferson and he worked at Rubbermaid. He had the ability and vision to reach across the various departments at Rubbermaid to develop products that were needed in health care environmental services industry. Besides his vision Bill also possesses the resolve to see a project through to completion. Bill is a gentleman of honor who knows the value of ongoing relationships."
