Stonewall, Manitoba, Canada
I am a dedicated professional with experience in Finance, Operations, Procurement, Marketing, Sales and Sales Leadership. I embrace a challenge and have enjoyed all of the challenges that come from leading an organization towards success. My goal is to "win" and winning can come from closing a sale, developing an employee, solving an operation problem, acquiring the best assets, or any other form of success. I am an empowering leader that has led small and large teams, allowing and supporting team members to rise to the highest level. Achieved the most success through allowing employees to rise to the highest level of their capability and realizing that a small failure or "pretty good" can be more effective than intervention to achieve "perfect". As a Project Manager I have led CRM Implementation, Mergers & Acquisitions, Operational Response teams, ERP integration, Custom Software Installations and numerous other major projects. These projects as well as the departments that I have led have provided me the benefit of motivating people towards a common goal and ensuring all team members are striving collaboratively. There is nothing better than a shared success! I am currently exploring new opportunities where I can leverage my expertise in marketing and business development to drive strategic growth and make a meaningful impact. If you are seeking a dedicated leader with a proven track record of success, I’d love to connect. Feel free to reach out via email at [email protected] or connect with me here on LinkedIn to discuss potential roles and collaborations.
