I am seeking a career opportunity. Please review my experience to see how I can be an asset to your company. I am a passionate, energetic leader that believes people make the difference every day, and that quality is not negotiable. Any consideration you can give me is appreciated. I have over 30 years of experience as a Senior Level Executive Manager with the Pepsi Cola Company which has given me a wide range of experience. When leading a new company my experience was expounded by; setting the vision, anticipating external changes, relating marketing to the companies direction, strategic thinking, setting the course of action, and being able to set clear goals, analyze constraints, develop alternative paths, and have back up plans. As General Manager of SW Florida with Pepsi, I lead a team of 250 employees, 14m cases, with over 100m in revenue each year. I lead the country in volume increase in 2004 with a 8.3% increase and over delivered on all objectives consistently each year in this position. As Director of Business Development with Pepsi my responsibilities were to implement marketing initiatives that increased product/service sales, expand market share, and improve corporate brands. As an accomplished sales professional with deep expertise in sales management, marketing prowess, and business acumen I am well qualified to lead an organization. As President of Personalabs, I came on board in the midst of internal chaos and operation upheaval as the organization faced financial uncertainties. Working hard to forge partnership and alliances I was able to garner relations and bring the organization to the forefront of the industry. Executive qualifications: P&L responsibilities, new business development, corporate administration, organizational leadership, crisis management, multi-site operations, consensus building and teaming, joint ventures and alliances, best practice and bench marking, performance optimization.
