Experience
-Led teams selling and implementing comprehensive robotics and factory automation systems in a wide variety of industries for GCA Corporation. Managed the field business development operations through this corporation’s acquisition by a foreign conglomerate.

-Led teams selling and implementing computer systems integration in several heavy industries and telecommunications markets for Litton Industries. Observed as this Fortune 100 company began outsourcing the manufacturing of its core competency products, and exerted substantially more effort with internal competition than marketplace competition, contributing to its corporate struggles. These corporate actions led author Tom Peters to highlight Litton Industries as an example of what not to do in his book “In Search of Excellence”.

-Created new business avenues for an Internet Services Provider (ISP) and electronic marketing services to leverage the widespread technology platform of the Internet for global business development.

Observed the rapid rise global competition in these areas of technology from reverse-engineering and aggressive marketing tactics.

-Identified and sold software development projects for a custom application development professional services company in the face of intense marketing attacks from offshore software consulting firms who were selling their services for 25% of domestic prices. Reported the field conditions to HQ as this company rapidly degraded from senior management’s failure to adapt and adjust pricing resulting in loss of tremendous market share, even with long-term established clients, leading to the ouster of the senior management at Encore Development.

-Performed business development, sales management, and corporate funding consulting services for early-stage technology businesses. Performed CRM system selection, implementation, customization and training as independent contractor for a myriad of small to medium businesses in a wide range of industries.
