Peter Jap’s Summary

I've spent 6 years creating win-win situations for Ford Motor Company's biggest B2B partner, the local dealer. Regardless of position, the objective is to always gain market share, increase profitability, and create higher levels of brand awareness in the Southeast. I've progressed through various functional departments within Ford as well as through the hierarchical organization. My expertise includes, launching multi-tiered branding campaigns, building and executing business plans for our dealerships, and creating value within these multi-million dollar business partners. In addition to the quantitative skills of financial statement analysis, accounting, and analytical experience at Ford, I have a proven track record of relationship building and selling skills by exceeding volume, share, and wholesale objectives in each of my various positions.

I've also taken the challenge to go back to school and have recently graduated with my MBA from Emory University's Goizueta Business School. My emphasis was in marketing and this has supplied me with a solid foundation of analytical skills. My experience includes market segmentation, targeting, positioning, new pricing and willingness to pay analysis, market sizing, and new concept testing using a combination of cluster, conjoint, discriminant, factor, and regression analysis. Finally, I'm finishing up a directed study where I've created ad campaigns for local businesses using Google AdWords and utilizing Google analytics to create low cost/ high value ads for businesses that can drive traffic on a local level. The directed study includes extensive work on lifetime value models, customer equity models, and multivariable testing.

My MBA experience at Emory, along with my proven track record at Ford Motor Company has given me a unique blend of skills that will allow me to create value in any position I hold.
