My ability to work within the Asian business culture has been instrumental in delivering seamless, timely transitions while maintaining the high quality expected. My Qualifications include: • Excellent communication skills and ability to work closely with global suppliers. • 30+ years experience managing projects related to product generation and support. • Proven ability to identify then leverage the resources required to effectively and efficiently complete a given project. • Proven ability to evaluate a product design and make modifications necessary to insure manufacturability, reliability and lowest cost. At ACCO Brands, I was cited for my ability to bring a common sense approach to issues related to projects and my ability to execute a plan to resolve an issue. I earned a measure of respect with all of our Asian suppliers based upon my sense of fairness, reliability and problem solving ability. My salary requirements are commensurate with the requirements of the position. I look forward to an opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you. I am available to meet at your convenience.
