We strive to over deliver. • Promoted to Associate Director • Formed the Secondary Markets Team to address markets in Texas, but outside of Dallas/Ft. Worth, as well as those in neighboring states: New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. • Promoted to Senior Associate in the minimum possible time. • Within first six weeks on the job, and given two weeks to perform, procured a buyer (and had several backup buyers) at 101% of list price for Tradewind Apartments, a 306-unit multifamily property in Mesquite (East Dallas). • Listed The Fairways apartments, a 145-unit multifamily property in Bryan, TX and procured a buyer within two weeks at 98% of list price.

This was a particularly difficult transaction, as the City of Dallas held deed restrictions on the property. This created a situation where negotiations were taking place between buyer, seller and Dallas government officials. In the end, a very rewarding outcome. • Listed the Bradford Place apartments, a 128-unit, A-class student property in Commerce, TX, and procured a buyer at 101% of proposed sale price. • Listed and sold the Social House apartments, a 72-unit student property in Nacogdoches, TX, and procured a buyer at 102% of proposed sale price. • Listed and sold The Kensington apartments, a 162-unit property in Amarillo, TX, and procured a buyer at 107% of proposed sale price. • Listed and sold the Cypress Park apartments, an 81-unit property in Monroe, LA, and procured a buyer at 110% of proposed sale price.
• Advise Fortune 500® clients, including CMOs, on marketing and advertising; key accounts - Turner Broadcasting (TNT, TBS, etc.), NBC, Verizon, Cox, and Sonic Drive-in. • Accelerated project turnaround, from 4 weeks to 4 days (5x faster), giving Ameritest major marketplace advantage. Most changes came from automating many manual processes, but also from standardizing ad hoc aspects of our research. • Created new product, BrandScape, based on combination of existing core competencies and my “passive crowdsourcing” idea for content. Launched at TMRE, 10/2014. • Reduced project set up time 30% while decreasing cost 70% by collaborating with new software supplier partners, including Qualtrics. • Optimized our website and marketing efforts, leading to 4x increase in traffic and new clients. • Collaborated with executive team to determine short- and long-term value, potential risks & rewards of investing in another research company, Communicus. Ameritest purchased a stake in Communicus, an investment that netted positive return in 9 months. • Integrated databases and operations with Communicus. Developed new Communicus client deliverables and web applications. Co-pitched and helped win new Communicus clients, including ConAgra Foods. Communicus sales increased 3x within year one and 2x in year two. • Proved value of Turner Broadcasting’s (TNT, TBS, etc.) inContext® advertising offerings as being 25% higher than standard advertising within the same programming. Conceived of advanced research design as well as new technology needed and implemented it all within a timeline no competitor could match (3 weeks total). • Concluded a multiyear information systems project that cut 3 days out of typical 4.5 week project timeline, while putting pieces in place for removing over 3 weeks later on. Processed and stored data directly into the normative database, rather than hand-keying after conclusion. Eliminated need for one class of vendor in many cases, increasing net margin by 5%.
• Net result of my changes from 2004-2008: Over 450% increase in productivity per employee. 2003: 287 ad tests, 2008: 1304 ad test with one fewer employee. Changes included automation, standardization, simplifying computer systems, and brining individuals together to work as a single team. • Designed client-facing web applications and directed the team that created them. Many clients use the applications on a daily basis; they act as both a data repository and a data analysis tool. • Led analysis of EEG-type (infraslow waves) brainwave measurement versus Ameritest® Picture Sorts® measurement. Analysis showed that brainwaves (like other biometric measurements) are inadequate measurement techniques alone. Picture Sorts showed greater resolution in understanding the psychological effects of advertising. • Analyzed replacement phone system options, and moved the company to a Unified Communications system. The new system simplified internal and external communications, gave remote and traveling workers new communications options, all while reducing TCO.
• Effectively ended a multiyear feud between divisions of the company by bridging the knowledge gap between divisions and leading both groups to work together as a unified whole. This not only increased output, but morale, as well. • Automated creation of Branding Moments® graphs, with 2-3 man-hours saved per graph. (This equates to approximately 7-10% of analyst man-hours.) • Created new processes for using our survey software. This resulted in a four-fold increase in employee productivity. We reduced staff by half while doubling volume. • Changed the internal database from a simple data repository into a project management tool. This reduced the number of software packages used, simplified some project management processes, and reduced the number of staff required to enter data. • Designed and directed switch from multiple, disparate storage servers and systems, to a single, unified Storage Area Network. This system makes more efficient use of servers, is more easily upgraded, and makes finding related items simple.
