I am a Business Manager at Bernina USA, working across all departments, Product management, Sales, Marketing, Education, Technical service and Accounting. I have developed and managed full product lines as well as the route to market. This has a yield of 62% growth over the +3 years I have been employed as the Business Manager. My previous employment as Director of Operations, grew the previous company double during my 5 years to +10m . My strengths are strategic planning, tactical execution and team building. I am a top performer. Product sourcing, contract negotiation, department management and dealer network development are other attributes in my possession. World business travel as well as remote work sites have also been a common place environment. Leading from the front and finding the YES is a major part of my personality. People often volunteer to be on my teams and enjoy the job satisfaction and the selfless team environment cultivated. My business knowledge base spans from R&D to the retailer and includes importers, distributors and retailer. One aspect of business I do not like is, letting people go. Who does?
