Don Waskiewicz’s Summary

I am a "make it so" type of person who seeks out innovative and "outside the box" ways to create solutions to business problems. I have 25 years experience creating database and delivery mechanisms utilizing consumer and business data. I have created products for Automotive, Retail, Insurance, Financial Services, Pharmaceutical and Packaged Goods. I believe in delivering solutions through the appropriate use of technology avoiding over-engineering and prefer to deliver systems with short payback periods. This approach provides the opportunity to enhance over time as the marketplace or needs evolve. Systems I have worked on have delivered expanded market reach, lower production costs, improved reliability and enhanced Business Insight. My goal is to find customers who will let me apply my years of experience to help both of us achieve professional and financial success.
