CollapseDescription

Leadership, strategic planning, quality assurance, marketing, and business development skills are inherent traits that are fine-tuned through hands-on experience. For the past eighteen years, I have been using my business talents to help world-class manufacturing companies grow their overall sales and increase the bottom line. As you will notice in the enclosed resume, I have an extensive business development, marketing, and quality assurance background. My technical skills are far-reaching in precision, metal stampings primarily for sales to automotive tier one and two clients. I am also fluent in the disciplines of QS-9000 (TS 16949). Some of my greatest achievements involve working with internal and external customers on the APQP process, developing D/P FMEA's resulting in dynamic control plans and effectively implementing process driven controls to efficiently drive low cost mistake free operational objectives. My diverse and robust business knowledge has helped me develop strong skills in verbal communications, presentations, meeting planning, cost reductions, and project management. Should you have a current or emerging need for a proven contributor to your management team, I would appreciate your serious consideration of my qualifications. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills would benefit your organization. You can reach me to schedule a personal interview by calling anytime or by e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,
