About Jeff Petree

A business professional with a history of achieving success in general management, procurement and sales. A long history in both the swine business and the companion animal nutrition business. A professional approach with both teammates and customers. An understanding of business including talent management, P & L responsibilities, marketing, procurement and the sales process. A proven coach and leader.I have a passion for and 15+ year history of leading teams to success. Leadership is about creating a vision and developing a passion to strive for the vision. Choosing the right people and investing resources in high payback areas are critical. Once the team begins to taste success, it becomes a stone rolling down hill. The distractions can't stop the momentum. The challenge is having discipline and passion to continue to push toward the vision until momentum is attained. Watching teams experience success is my greatest reward. I seem to have an ability to pull a team together and attain this momentum. The product or service is not as important as the culture and people.
