I was brought to Magenic to target strategic accounts and to build our presence within the large corporate environment within and around the Twin Cities. I worked with C-level and director-level executives to understand their application environment and how it fit into the overall direction and focus of IT and the organization as a whole. I worked with these executives and their teams to focus and direct their application strategy and utilize Magenic's unique model as a partner to further their initiatives and achieve both their technology and corporate goals.

My role at Magenic:

• Build relationships with organizations to help them understand how application technology can effectively maximize the effectiveness of their unique processes.

• Position Magenic within the region as a true application partner – working through a unique model to affect an organization's business objectives via technology.

• Build effective partnerships within Microsoft and within the Twin Cities IT community to advance Magenic's mission and to 'spread the word' regarding our unique approach and model.

My achievements:

• Formed effective partnerships with strategic Microsoft resources and personnel.

• Worked to re-establish Magenic's reputation within the retail community locally.

• Built a visual tool for representing the company's unique model – using understood concepts to differentiate our approach and execution from the other organizations both regionally and nationally that work with our 'space'.

• Closed business with 'profile' companies and established the foundation of long-term partnerships with these organizations.

• Established working relationships with several 'anchor' profile organizations that will deliver significant revenue over the next several years.

I was brought to Winthrop to establish and build a new vertical market. I work with C-level executives at large regional and national retail organizations to implement a strategic solution built to address the unique nature of technology and unplanned change.

My role at Winthrop Resources:

• Build our business through direct relationships with executives at 'profile' organizations

• Grow our vertical strategy through better understanding of our customer and prospects – use my knowledge and experience to help the organization better understand how to address the new marketplace

• Build Partnerships with organizations that complement our mission, benefit from our value proposition, and work with executives at profile companies

My achievements:

• Closed significant 'anchor' profile accounts

• Have built Winthrop's presence in a key vertical from 'non-existent' to a true industry presence

• Authored white papers on our important role in managing technology investment and unforeseen change – utilized these pieces and participation in industry conferences to position Winthrop as a 'thought-leader' within the vertical market

• Identified and built lasting and effective relationships with strategic vendor partners that were previously unknown to Winthrop – this has resulted in considerable sales increases – sales to the new vertical have doubled over the last 2 years and 60-70 percent of this increase is due to new vendor relationships.

Over the years, I held a number of positions at Direct Source, all with considerable impact in an area of the company that was important to growth. During my last 7 years I had a significant number of both official and unofficial responsibilities.

My role at Direct Source:

• Provided direct sales leadership for the Northeastern quarter of the United States, working with Fortune 1000 clients.

• Led efforts to identify new technologies and their applicability to our client/prospect base. Will they provide benefit? Can we gain expert status? Will we be successful with this technology? (Prior to leaving Direct Source I was asked to officially take a new Director position focusing entirely on this aspect of the business.)

• Manage project management teams for clients in the Northeastern United States.

• Provide leadership in successful corporate re-branding efforts.

• Build and manage vendor relationships in the Northeastern United States.

My achievements:

• Closed significant 'anchor' profile accounts.

• Re-engineered 'go-to-market' strategy – this strategy helped build sales from $4M/year to $35M/year over a 5-year period while maintaining $1M+/employee revenue rate and improving overall margins.

• Identified, introduced, and built a sales plan around new technologies that contributed heavily to both sales success and to the bottom line of the business.

• Led successful effort to introduce new services offerings to the marketplace.

• 'Re-built' our direct-support model to provide better customer service, better vendor communication, and better overall service margins.

• Authored a series of papers and participated in industry conferences to establish Direct Source as a strategic partner for both retail organizations as well as technology vendors.

• Early in my career at Direct Source, I managed logistics as well as the support/integration facility and I transitioned those areas from reactionary groups to pro-active teams that worked together to support the rapid growth of the company.
