Peter Campbell’s Summary
I have been managing technology for over twenty years, moving up from database management to system administration to Director/VP for the last ten years. I serve primarily in the non-profit, social enterprise communities where I can take my overall knowledge of office technology and donor management, combine it with my expertise in Retail tech, E-Commerce and CRM, and offer a well-rounded set of services to meaningful organizations. I'm particularly suited for and interested in helping non-profits build up businesses to supplement their donor-based funding.
Key Accomplishments:
- Completely overhauled retail technology for an 18 Store operation, implementing new Point of Sale and inventory management systems. Suggested new retail strategies based on data analysis that led to 10% year over year improvement in revenues despite reduction in number of stores and inventory sources.
- Developed a custom, web-based reporting tool, using a SQL backend to facilitate distribution of data and data warehousing/mining.
- Introduced E-Commerce as a sales channel. Wrote and implemented (almost to the letter) a business plan with a 18 month breakeven.
- Raised the technical acumen of a 250 person law firm by providing key technologies like Web access and online CD research before the Attorneys knew that they were needed; Introduced databases, presentations, imaging and extranets as standard business tools.
