Growth-focused senior executive with depth in the areas of strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), business valuations, operations, manufacturing, accounting, and financial management. My passion for continual improvement and business excellence has allowed me to grow profitable multi-million-dollar businesses while identifying significant operational efficiencies to increase the bottom line. Throughout my career, I have acquired multiple businesses, including one that was in financial distress and on the brink of bankruptcy. By focusing on building and repairing customer relationships as well as forming strategic partnerships with vendors, I was able to turn that business around and deliver on all customer commitments in a two-week period. In my experience I also have relocated business operations and manufacturing facilities from the southeastern part of the country to the Midwest, making sure that there was no impact to customer deliveries during the transition. I am very passionate and committed to making sure I provide a world-class customer experience.
