For all of my career, significantly increasing market share by incorporating new strategy, long-
term relationships, problem solving and critical thinking techniques across multiple industries has
been my passion. Typically, an additional 15% - 30% revenue increase over 3 to 5 years and 3-8
points in market share has been achieved. Strategic plans are developed to boost sales and
marketing, enhance communication and to create influence among legislators for the corporate
agenda. Due to a background in Technology with over 25 years in software sales and being a
principal in 2 successful private companies, I have gained a wealth of knowledge that many never
have the opportunity to experience. Using business intelligence and data analytics tools as a
foundation for the decision making process, key performance indicators are established so
performance can be measured. Once these are in place, execution processes including achievement
goals are defined. I am looking to be a part of a team of diverse talents and skills, pooling these
skills toward a single purpose—success. I adapt very well across industries. I have worked with
channel sales methods and direct sales methods with federal and state legislators, with large and
small clients, nationally and regionally in a long standing industry and technology. My communication
and relationship building skills make me a viable representative for any leadership, corporate
relations or business development opportunity. Other strengths I possess are a visionary, positive
attitude, and the self-discipline to achieve and maintain success. I am looking forward to discussing
