As an Operations Manager with over 25 years of proven success in managing over 50 stores simultaneously with 1,200 employees, I operated with a P/L of over $300 million. I have a proven track record devising and executing strategies that build sales, lower expenses, reduce shrink and increase earnings in a fast paced environment. Overseeing day-to-day operations, budgets and strategic plan development, I met, and usually exceeded, corporate expectations.With my extensive background in team building, problem solving and process/performance improvement I consistently monitored and investigated all processes and procedures and made modifications to make them more user friendly and time conscience. I spent five years traveling in district outside my home area, spending three to five days a week on the road.I am skilled and experienced in the training and development of teams that drive unprecedented growth. I was chosen to represent the corporation in employee mediation that results in reduced litigation and related expenses. I have done public speaking for small and large groups. I am certified in Interview and Interrogation Techniques.During a few of the years of my involvement with the Junior Chamber of Commerce (civic organization) I chaired and coordinated the MDA Telethon. One phase of this project included communicating with the MDA Board of Directors, Central Mall Board of Directors (location of event), local television station, various fundraising groups and organizations, and volunteers to ensure a successful project that raised over $250,000 in our community each year.As State President of the Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) I directed a state leadership team of over 30 members and worked with a statewide membership of over 5,000 members to ensure we met or exceeded our membership, training and fundraising goals.These are only a few examples of some of my leadership expertise that I will bring to your company.
