Highlights:

I have been a significant leader in several companies sales and profit growth. For example: At Oven Fresh Bakery as Exec. VP of Sales & Marketing, I instituted a coupon insertion program into our products to cross market higher margin products, as well as co-brand with related product lines. Along with proper management of Thrift Stores and Sales product placement, stock value grew from negative $7.00 per share to a positive share value. Shortly after I left their employ, they sold the company to Earth Grains at a profit.

Companies I like:

Duracell, Kraft, Bic, Campbells, P&G, Spartan, McLane, Coremark
