I led the strategy that launched our beverage carbonation services to clients on a national scale. Today, we are one of Airgas’s fastest-growing divisions. Our leadership and sales team, as well as our call center staff, are dedicated client partners, and our creative solutions are grounded in data (retrieved from the use of leading-edge technology) and designed to solve unique business problems for national companies at the local level.

Challenged with replicating my previous success across a much larger and underperforming region, I drove clear communication and the consistent application of policies (later adopted in another region as best practice).I also cemented my reputation for creative problem solving as a go-to for Sales and our President – yielding company wins on everything from pricing discussions to ice delivery glitches. HIGHLIGHTS:➜Transformed team to high performing and branch procedures to cohesive. ➜ Directed acquisition integration and led strategy that included team restructure and facilities consolidation. ➜ Reduced vehicle accident rates, improved equipment utilization rate and elevated the customer experience by instituting a fleet tracking system that allowed managers to monitor and analyze issues and behaviors in real-time.

Promoted to fill some deep shoes, I built trust across our tenured Central Region team, and earned their respect and a reputation for “rolling up sleeves” throughout efforts in the wake of 3 consecutive hurricanes hitting the region.HIGHLIGHTS:➜ Masterminded demurrage as a new revenue stream through win-win contract terms that allowed us to onboard our first customer outside the U.S. while also protecting our assets and investment. ➜ Built budgets and forecasts in partnership with Sales, directed sales force and ensured DOT, OSHA and corporate regulatory compliance spanning 60-employees and 11 branches and 8 states.
