Kris Sikes Email & Phone Number

I have extensive knowledge in automated production systems in the steel and metal fabricating industry. In this industry, strategic alliances and the right partnerships provide companies with the agility to respond to new opportunities, and give growth-oriented companies the leverage to compete on multi-million dollar projects. But these partnerships require careful management and execution if they are going to deliver anticipated benefits. For more than 15 years, I have consulted, negotiated, sourced and managed millions of dollars in sales revenue through alliance relationships with software developers, manufacturers, and fabricators including organizations like Controlled Automation, Hypertherm, Northrop Grumman, Aker Kvaerner, Hirschfeld Industries, AFCO / W&W Steel, Navistar and Trinity. As such, I have an extensive understanding of the critical risks and success factors involved in automated shop production by steering these strategic alliances through the complete sales lifecycle, and know what it takes to pull together a deal that provides wins for all stakeholders, especially the client.Specialties:* Strategic planning and layout for high production shops* Integration of software through product design, inventory and production CNC machinery* Specialized machine design applications for manufacturers * Marketing and branding identity* Email Marketing and Analytics* Customer Acquisition and Retention* Advertising and Promotions Campaigns* Launch of New Products and Services* Public and Media Relations* Internal and External Communications* Seminars, Tradeshows and Client Events
