B&W Enterprises, through its SPIG® product line, operates globally, supplying an extensive range of turnkey cooling systems. I was brought into B&W Enterprises, Inc. to steer the direction of all of the company's Business Development efforts towards a new direction, build long-term strategic operations, streamline processes, and establish a cohesive department functionality. I was especially entrusted with fixing the new order intake, which fell well below forecasts in 2016 due to the US market slow-down of new build projects. I increased focus on Key Customers in the "buying" stage of projects, which led to multiple "repeat" contracts, and contributed to securing all "target" projects in 2017; revenue growth doubled in the first year of acquisition, exceeding $100 million. During this period of employment, my contributions to the organization had been invaluable and resulted in massive business expansion. Having harnessed a reputation within C-suite ranks as the "go-to" business development professional, I also leveraged expertise across various other aspects of the business such as sales, marketing, finance, HR, support, etc. Select accomplishment:• Increased focus on customer service and support, which led to multiple "repeat" contracts and contributed to securing all "target" projects in 2017; revenue growth doubled in the first year of acquisition, exceeding $100 million.
