Brandon Savage’s Summary

I am a dynamic goal-oriented marketing professional with a diverse background that makes me an valuable addition to any team. This diverse experience includes account management, marketing, consulting, accounting, auditing, IT, strategy and operations. I embrace personal interaction. Thus, I thrive within a team dynamic. However, I am also self-motivated when going solo. Dealing with international companies is a daily occurance and I look forward to continued interaction with new and diverse cultures. I adapt to new situations and technologies quickly. Working through tough business decisions with little information is my forte. Hard work is my mantra.
