David Harkleroad’s Summary

I help organizations deliver results by maximizing the contribution of individuals and teams.

How? I leverage P&L experience (units directly managed have sold in excess of $100M) with marketplace insights to develop operational initiatives, and motivate employees to excel. I have restructured functional units and designed reward systems to achieve operational objectives in multiple businesses. Currently, leading the Hay Group's re-branding and marketing efforts to support aggressive growth targets. Before that, by developing results-oriented competitive brand and marketing strategies for IBM, the world’s 3rd most valuable brand, drove initiatives worth $billions.
