I was brought on board to drive business development efforts on a worldwide scale, focusing on revenue growth with large margins. I oversee every business growth function, including Marketing, Sales, and Business Development. I direct teams of up to 20 and report to the CEO and Board of Directors. I create and execute the overarching business growth strategy, including transitions to new focus areas (e.g. shift from consumer electronics to professional markets). Among my achievements:❖ Spearheaded increase in annual revenues while achieving profitability goals and upfront, pre-payments on nearly every PO (debt-free by 2015). Maintained 13 consecutive quarters of meeting and surpassing expectations from 2013 to present.❖ Contributed to fundraising and team building efforts in the company’s early stages. Built and led the company’s Sales team; established Amimon’s overseas teams, distributors, and representatives. ❖ Played instrumental role in landing Teradek as a customer (Teradek eventually became the company’s largest customer). Additionally landed deals with:→ Sony (TV) – integrated Amimon solutions into their TV products.→ Stryker (Medical) – multi-year exclusive deal.→ Nokia (Mobile) – 2-year venture to incorporate products into mobile devices.❖ Assisted in creating Connex brand and product for the drone industry that eventually generated steady stream of revenue. Created channels to sell the product.❖ Served as key catalyst in the company’s eventual sale to Vitec Group. Worked with CEO in meeting potential buyers; produced business projections for the buyer. Advised the CEO at every stage of the process.

I held full accountability for the entire organization, including start-up and business growth initiatives. I raised seed money and executed contracts with investors, hired all team members (managers, employees, and consultants), and created partnerships with clients in the insurance and automotive industries. Past successes:❖ Raised ~$500K in start-up funding and engaged with GM through contacting the appropriate individuals within GM and securing a face-to-face meeting.❖ Led all aspects of incorporating KunaTech, including hiring of the financial and legal teams. Additionally established the company’s IP via provisional patents.

I was initially hired as Customer Support Director in a more technically oriented management position. I was subsequently promoted to Director of Business Development, with a greater role on the business side of the organization. I built and led the company’s Customer Support and Application groups. I transitioned to Business Development Manager following Texas Instruments’ purchase of Butterfly Communications, and created revenue for the Short Distance Wireless Business Unit within an emerging market (new Bluetooth communication standard). I am proud to have:❖ Played critical role in increasing annual revenues from zero to over $10M, with the potential for an additional $100M over the next 3 years. Created a presence in Japan and built solid relationships with Panasonic, Sony, and Toshiba among others to fuel business development efforts.❖ Secured Intel as a customer that led to $4M in revenues within the first 2 years. Additionally captured $2M deal with Logitech involving wireless chip for their game products.❖ Built strong, sustainable relationships with domestic and international companies, including Japanese companies (Panasonic, NEC, Fujitsu, Murata) and U.S. companies (Motorola, Logitech, Dell, HP, Compaq, Intel, Flextronix, Apple).
