Dennis Meade Email and Phone Number

I’m a strategic and analytical Program Manager with an extensive background in project management, sales & marketing, and financial analysis in the manufacturing industry. I have a proven ability to support market share growth, expansion of product portfolio and drive of workforce innovation.In my role as a Program Manager for John Deere within sales and marketing I controlled the pricing process for large ag products. This involved executing complex pricing analysis for Deere’s largest new product programs to optimize price position, generating substantial annual price realization. In conjunction with that, I managed the annual development and delivery of dozens of incentive programs that supported historic market share performance despite a significant industry downturn.Prior to that, I managed John Deere’s Turf & Utility Aftermarket business, focusing on exceptional global parts/attachments availability at distribution centers, as well as delivering extraordinary profitability and growth. I also served as a Global Project Manager for Deere’s service parts business where I spearheaded the processes and IT application that ensured worldwide parts support for complete good new product introductions. Within multiple John Deere factories I worked as a Financial Analyst, guiding leadership decisions to deliver ROIs beyond hurdle rate.I obtained an MBA from the University of Iowa and a bachelor’s in Accounting from Northern Illinois University. I am adept at collaborating cross-functionally to deliver quality products and services.Skills:• Business Planning• Strategy & Execution• Price Negotiations• Team Leadership• Profitable Growth• Budgeting & Forecasting• International Business• Product Management• Business Development• IT Project Management• Manufacturing• Warehouse Management• Training & Development• Supplier Management• Process Improvement• Incentive Programs• Internal Audit• Accounting
