Barry Shrier (b.shrier@gmail.com)’s Summary
Barry Shrier is a well educated and charismatic Leader, with a proven Board-level General Management track record demonstrating entrepreneurial courage, outstanding salesmanship, and passionate marketing flair. He also is very IT literate; with a passion for the digital revolution.
I've now committed my career to addressing Global Warming / Climate Change, by launching a new Clean Tech venture. We're designing and marketing zero-emission cars - based on iconic British marques like the Range Rover and Jaguar re-engineered with highly-innovative electric motors and state-of-the-art nanotechnology batteries. World famous, gorgeous British luxury cars - magic'd by us into high performance, zero carbon footprint.
Compared to their original petrol equivalents, these electric cars will have:
- faster acceleration.
- higher top-speeds.
So, as beautiful and legendary as the originals, but more fun!
These are highly innovative electric cars:
- Truly ZERO emission: no exhaust, no carbon, no poisonous particulates...
- they are very quiet.
- and they are 2 - 4 times lower cost / mile driven: much, much less energy consumption.
- i.e. braking recharges the batteries!
Wealth, of course, confers responsibility and is not just about consumption. The appeal of these new, exciting, innovative Electric Cars is to high net-worth individuals who are concerned about their legacy; about Global Warming and climate change. Our customers will want to leave a better world for their children.
Previously, I have founded and managed two businesses, and a Deutsche Bank subsidiary, and brings substantial experience including full profit responsibility, cost control & credit management, budgeting and forecasting, personnel management and motivation, managing investor relations, negotiation, etc.
