Strategic Direction ■ Mergers & Acquisitions ■ Market Expansion & GrowthConnect at: Manfred.mueller911@gmail.comEarly-stage and high-growth companies require leadership talent that is broad in perspective—merging all core functional disciplines to achieve common goals and deliver aggressive performance results.In my career, I have done just that. With 15+ years of senior management experience—in international organizations, I have personally directed all operating, strategic, marketing, sales, engineering, DevOps, production, and financial functions. Most significantly, I delivered strong performance in revenue growth, cost reduction, process improvement, and long-range business development. High-growth companies also require visionary leadership. It is not enough to manage the day-to-day operations. Rather, it is critical that the leadership team provide direction and inspiration to achieve success.My achievements clearly reflect my ability to deliver:—Played a key leadership role in the strategic evolution, reinvention, and growth—driving substantial revenue growth in a six-year period for Identiv, identifying new revenue streams, expanding product portfolios, implementing a turn-key manufacturing facility, and leading due diligence activities and post-merger integrations.—Expanded scope and market share in IoT and RFID markets, transitioning from traditional high frequency (HF) to ultra HF, managing partnership with NXP and other major chip vendors, and winning deals with multinational corporations.—Partnered in the ideation, development, and launch of an access card service bureau business—driving substantial new revenue for Identiv.—Served on the executive M&A team at Identiv, playing an important role in due diligence activities for multiple acquisitions, and leading product, operations, and customer integration efforts.—Led business development and strategic sales in EMEA and APAC for SCM Microsystems, driving 20% YoY revenue growth, while actively preparing for a merger.
