Expert Profile
What if you had one employee who was responsible for $6. 4 million of your bottom line? What if this person did not work in the Sales/Marketing department, but was from Accounting/Finance? Over the course of my career, I have placed more than $6. 4 million on the bottom lines of companies.
I bring varied experience in multiple markets, including Automotive Parts Manufacturing, Automotive Aftermarket manufacturing and distribution, Distribution companies, Steel manufacturing and fabrication, Not-for-profit (including churches, arts, and counseling services), Healthcare (including hospitals and physicians' practices), Controls and Automation companies, Tooling companies, and Internet Technologies firms. This varied experience allows me to bring ideas from one industry into another, using the best of each industry. I have worked in smaller, privately-owned companies, and have formed accomplishments in larger divisions of publicly-traded companies. Ford Motor Company saw $1. 05 million of bottom line improvement over the span of 15 months, as the result of my efforts there. You don't need another body completing tasks; you already have enough of those folks around. You need someone who views your company like you do, as an entrepreneur.
