In my previous positions, my responsibilities focused on delivering financial results for divisions or companies with revenue from $300 million to $3.4 billion. In those roles I prepared strategic and tactical plans, marketing programs, and operating budgets. I managed facilities, supply chains, developed new products, redesigned processes, and implemented new technologies. In the area of sales and relationship building, I called on national retail and wholesale accounts, club formats, non-traditional retailers, and foodservice companies. I also negotiated with other manufactures, managed consultants and advertising agencies. I am a highly accomplished senior executive with a proven track record of success in the consumer products industry.
