As a lover of reading and writing, I gravitated towards a career in the Newspaper/Publishing business with USA Today, after working in several industries, including the consumer products and transportation sectors. My experience and success attained in leading sales and operational efforts in both the Print and Digital sectors, has positioned me to assume further leadership roles in Publishing or any related-fields. I'm a dynamic Sales Director, excelling in leading field staff in maximizing revenues, closing sales, identifying expense savings, and enhancing customer relationships. I excel in Facilitation and Presentation skills . My experience in Print and Digital Publishing Sales and Distribution areas provides me with a clear and focused understanding how to optimize results in the rapidly-evolving Digital world. Led USA Today's Single Copy Sales operation to 15 consecutive years of year over year growth. We targeted hundreds of prominent and strategically visible retail, commuter and travel locations throughout the Metro area and improved displays and placement for USAT and realigned distribution routes to affect a early am delivery time, ensuring we captured the early morning commuters. We established the newspaper service standard for the Hotel industry by executing room-to-room deliveries of USAT, W.S.J. and the N.Y. Times by 5:30 a.m. As Digital Sales Lead for Barnes and Noble, I led my team to double-digit year over year increases for digital sales of the Nook tablet. In my current position as Project Manager for Document Conversions Inc. I direct sales and service efforts in the New York Metro area targeting companies seeking to convert their paper documents to digital format. My efforts have contributed to a 10% year over year profit increase. Yankees fan, Martial Arts enthusiast,German Shepherd lover, Blues aficionado Specialties: Digital/Publishing Sales.
