I was responsible for maintaining efficient and high caliber support for marketing, sales, and business development activities. I performed accurate, timely and efficient delivery of services in support of my organization’s requirements that enhanced Plasser’s reputation in the marketplace.

I produced high quality proposal submissions, presentations and printed qualification materials in response to formal and informal client solicitations, including Letters of Interest (LOIs), Expressions of Interest (EOIs) Requests for Qualifications (RFQ), Requests for Proposals (RFP), amongst other responsibilities.
