My business cards have said Sales Rep, Director, President & CEO, Partner. But when you get right down to it, I’m a revenue generator, brand builder and leader with an entrepreneurial spirit. I currently operate OES Advisors Strategic Marketing. I’ve enjoyed the entrepreneurial pursuit of building a consulting practice and I am grateful for the support of OES clients, however, I have decided that I want to immerse myself in a new project. I miss working with a team of passionate and engaged people where we collectively dig into business opportunities & challenges to unlock potential and deliver growth. My business career started in the telecommunications industry where I worked in B2B acquisition sales. I quickly advanced from general business sales to major accounts, then wholesale national accounts. I didn’t realize it at the time, but while I was in the telecom trenches I was developing and honing skills that would serve as the foundation for new exciting business experiences. My telecom success resulted in me being recruited to join the sports & entertainment industry where I spent 15+ years growing my business skill set. The industry provided me with terrific opportunities to gain leadership experience in operations, marketing, consumer sales, broadcast rights, licensing, events, communications, community relations & fundraising. I have worked with many talented people and have been fortunate to have been part of executive teams that have delivered tremendous growth. Something I’ve learned along my career path is that I feel most alive in growth and turnaround settings. Therefore, I am actively exploring opportunities where my skills and personality are suited to make a meaningful contribution to an organization that seeks growth, turn around or is in start up. This is an exciting time for me as I explore the next chapter of my career. I am committed to change, however, I will be patient but diligent in an effort to discover an exciting project. In the meantime, I will keep the lights on at OES and enjoy life in the best city in the world - enjoying many of my favourite activities and continuing to refine my iron chef and mixology skills.If you’d like chat, drop me a note here or at tmauthe@shaw.ca.
