25+ years of sales and marketing experience at wholesale and retail, in private business, public enterprise and as an entrepreneur. Success as a marketing and sales manager has come through effective team leadership and my upbeat and infectious enthusiasm for business and life. I have always lead by example building morale and inspiring confidence.Always attracted to a challenge, my approach is to quickly identify the problem, trend and opportunity and then generate dynamic actions to deliver a positive result. I have strong listening skills, a flexible approach and the ability to communicate with all stakeholders throughout the process. Diligence and focus help me see projects through to completion; I’ve proven time and again that I take ownership of my work and can be relied on to get the job done.Specialties: Team Leadership · Sales Management and Motivation · Customer Retention · National Account Management · Price & Profit Strategy · Strategic Planning · Brand Building · Brand Extension · Product Management & Strategy · Product Development · Resource Development · Project Management · Budgeting · Overhead Saving & Cost Reduction · Process Improvement · P & L · Sponsorship Negotiation &Activation · Trademark & Patent Management ·
