I facilitated numerous negotiations between global teams, specifically in Germany and India, while establishing an American presence for a well-established software company. As a brand ambassador and worldwide intermediary, I created the company's first relationship-based selling network. Given the cultural diversity and tentative communications within these branches, this involved forging intricate and trust-based intra-company relationships to strategically serve customers.Acting as a communications leader for Neilsoft, I developed and implemented a strategy centered on conversations rather than presentations. This revolutionary approach proved highly effective, as it enabled me to garner support for our product within each customer's organization and among buyers.

I advised an executive team of a business-development consulting firm specializing in helping companies design, develop and launch products and services. Our mission entailed coaching innovation, composition and marketing tactics, particularly Fortune 500 companies, and my expertise was trade-focused and strategy-centered in channel development and sales training and management. Through that, I played a key role in the think-tank's establishment of a new business arm dedicated to future-growth targets. I additionally focused on serving existing clients with commerce advice and skills refined by finding key opportunities in crowded markets, niches for the incorporation of technology and unparalleled marketing proficiency.

This proactive approach involved seeking new products to fill gaps and addressing key educational trends. The company's success was driven by my ability to identify growth opportunities, forge strategic relationships, and implement effective sales and marketing strategies tailored to the educational sector.Through my comprehensive oversight of operations, sales, and marketing, I transformed the company into a respected industry player, delivering innovative solutions and exceptional service to educational institutions across the Midwest region.

I was brought on board to turn around this publicly-traded, Israeli-based developer and distributor of CAD/CAM software for the manufacturing industry. Within the first year, I more than doubled sales through the successful use of 4P's strategy and oversaw key organization efforts, including the closing of an under-performing office. I propitiously delivered a 135 percent revenue increase for the third and fourth quarters of 1999 and first quarter of 2000 while additionally cutting overall corporate expenses 37 percent through the integration of an innovative new budgeting technique. I also initiated a presence in existing markets while seizing new opportunities to expand geographically within North America, furthered new employee compensation agreements, founded a company-wide sales compensation plan, and expanded teams with local and remote hires by re-organizing employees' roles and offices.

Hired as the sole salesman alongside the firm's founder for the start-up Micro Engineering Solutions, I established the first marketing plan and deployed direct, national, and international channel teams. I prepared and executed the transition from direct to channel-directed business models. Despite rivalry in a crowded and highly competitive design/manufacturing software market, I consistently generated between $2 million and $3 million in annual software sales.This industry impact led to Micro Engineering's acquisition by Autodesk, a world leader in software for manufacturing, construction, engineering, and media/entertainment. Post-merger, I led a diverse transition team in the successful closure of all business related to the liquidation of assets and assumed the role of Industry Marketing/Product Manager for all mechanical software products.My outstanding commitment and capabilities earned unsolicited praise from the CEOs. I directed a global virtual team in the debut of two new high-profile products through a channel of over 4,000 VARs in 28 countries, establishing processes from defining technical specs to creating advertising campaigns. My key role in a high-visibility product launch in California contributed pivotal insight and implementations to advertising, focus groups, and marketing blueprints for technical and commerce information.Later, as Acquisition/Transition Team Manager, I directed efforts to divest Autodesk of its NC software products assets. I prepared responses for analysts and channel/end users, researched potential buyers, and successfully negotiated contract talks based on self-developed criteria in each area.
