Jon Martensson possesses expertise in product development, product marketing, marketing, marketing strategy, market research and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I've had the pleasure of working along side Jon for 10 years, at 2 different companies. Jon is an incredibly talented individual with so many skills I admire. If you want someone to lead a multi-functional team to provide results on time and within or better than budget, Jon will do that. If you need someone who will listen more than he talks, that's also Jon. Jon manages through good and difficult times with the same focus, and determination. Jon doesn't care about how good he looks, he cares about how good the team looks, and that's a trait that is hard to find. He is a team builder, and people across different disciplines within and outside the organization understand that and follow him. I don't know a better professional when it comes to product development that Jon, he's honed his sense of market intelligence down to a science, taking in all feedback from the right people and using that to create amazingly simple results that are incredibly effective and executable. Above all of that, Jon is honest, loyal and exudes integrity. Jon has my utmost respect and is a pleasure, personally and professionally to work with. I hope we work together for another 10 years or more, but if not - any organization would be immediately bettered by his contributions. Kyle Richardson North American Business Manager - Royal Talens 413-977-6300" and "In my 4 years I shared at Canson with Jon it seems we never had a moment to rest. Jon hit the ground running with a project revamping all of our cover art work and product line offering. He dove right in and managed the monumental task with grace and an uncanny ability to communicate to the involved departments. Injecting his unique sense of humor and creative thinking, keeping stress to a minimum but more importantly productivity moving forward and meeting deadlines. He organized Marketing communication meetings to keep the rest of the organization engaged and well informed of projects. The following Spring he was at it again polishing the longstanding look and functionality of the Canson pad and sheet stock merchandising. Again meeting deadlines and impressing customers all the while accepting feedback on cost savings from my departmant and manufacturers resulting in cost effective and NAMTA award winning POP displays. Jon's creative thinking does not cloud his common sense which makes working with him a pleasure."
