President at RAEDC
Rockford, Illinois Area
Currently leading economic development non profit for our community. This combines new knowledge with my coporate past and is very exciting. From my jobs at 4 leading Fortune 500 companies I have experienced general management, sales and marketing positions. Combine that with a strong Toyota Production Systems lean management learned at Danaher and I find that I am able to contribute in many different ways when groups or companies are seeking improvement.
