It is truly my honor to recommendation Alan and its my privilege to share my thoughts about him, his work, skill sets and talents. Alan is a classically trained Fortune 500 CPG sales and marketing executive who spent more than 2 decades with Rubbermaid's Houseware Division working and developing their retail channel. I first met Alan, when I was just 28 years old and had just joined Rubbermaid as a Key Account Executive in the Los Angeles area. Alan trained me within the Rubbermaid culture but actually taught me more about retail than any other person in my career. Merchandising and developing planograms, building professional business plans and achieving new business as well as creating new products based on what his customers needed has always been Alans talents. I must say that among his many attributes, Alan is truly one of those rare gentlemen that is just hard to find these days....His mannerisms and personally provides a mood of comfortability which sets any customer at ease rather quickly. People enjoy doing business with him and actually find reasons to work with him because they like HIM as a person. Alan understands retail backwards and forwards including product placement, product development and packaging as well as category selling and management. He is also an excellent manager because people WANT TO WORK FOR HIM~! Alan has the ability to encourage people when no one else can thus this natural and sincere ability motivates one to do their best for Alan and the company. I am now 50 years of age, and I have worked for many Fortune 500 CPG organizations, several well known toy companies and a couple of Hollywood Studios working side by side some of the most well known people in the world BUT I can honestly tell you that no one person has impressed me more than Alan Ouzoonian. If you are fortunate enough to hire him for a Regional or National or VP Sales position then do so and keep him as he WILL make the rain happen within your organization...I can promise you that!

Alan's experience and background with the retail and catalog customer base and prior business reputation allowed him to step into a start-up situation and convert prospects into customers almost instantly. His sales and marketing impact at Energetic was immediate and he was an instant contributor to the initial growth of the company. He also possesses skills that make him valuable to any company with his ability to create tools for selling on his own and develop a system that works.He is capable of far more than the normal sales management executive because of those attributes.
