Highlights:
• Recruited to assess and turnaround a social enterprise with a significantly underperforming core business. Restructured the leadership team and refocused marketing and operations on new business and operational efficiencies. Grew monthly revenues six-fold within six months.
• Assumed leadership for a non-profit that had become overextended because of a stalled $1.5 million capital expansion project. Streamlined budgets and liquidated available assets to create funding for completing critical components of the capital project, and worked with the board to achieve two debt restructures to free up operational funds, enabling the organization to move forward.
• Turned around a local supply company by adjusting sales commissions to align with profitable business, restructuring a daily and monthly order fulfillment operation to eliminate 90% of costly, last minute orders, and leveraged technology to set up an efficient forecasting and purchasing capability. Restored profitability to the organization within 3 months.
