Bio
Rav Gawander
I was working at a company that was making 7 million dollars, and Alan had a lot to do with it, and why he had been promoted so many times within Con-Space. He was indeed the Sales Leader and Sales President and no one will ever come close.

I first met Alan in the late 1990s along with a number of his colleagues in Con-Space Communications. We were all in the confined spaces business. I have met Alan many time since as his career has progressed. Alan is an extremely skilled and accomplished professional with a strong focus on his customers. He cares for his staff and always has his clients/ employers best interests at heart. It is a pleasure to know Alan.

Sr Account Manager - International Sales

Apr 2007 - Aug 2011
With the purchase of Search Systems and their products the International market became a considerably more lucrative opportunity. The SearchCam and Delsar name was already recognized globally I just had to apply much needed process and distribution management to fully realize its potential. Systematically my team built a distribution network that created sales in over 50 countries. I personally flew to many international locations to build long lasting relationships in China, Brasil, Indonesia, Chile, Turkey and India. Some highlight for the International team are Saudi Arabia at 1.3M in sales, Indonesia 800K, Australia 500k, China 750k, UK 1.6M. Show less

Vice President - CON-SPACE Communications Global

Apr 2005 - Apr 2007
In this role I was given the responsibility to sell the CON-SPACE Hardline and Radio Accessories Globally. All sales and support staff reported to me. The title allowed for a succession plan as CON-SPACE was positioning itself to acquire additional companies. In April 2007 this took place and I was removed from these duties to parachute into the new company and build its sales team. The purchased company was Search Systems Inc. based in Bakersfield California. The strong brands acquired where SearchCam, Delsar and EntryLink Show less
