Bio
Terry Schadeberg
During my time as President of NORD Gear, Barb worked directly for me in the areas of marketing and sales administration. Her work was excellent. Working with little direction, she implemented a number of key initiatives the biggest of which was the implementation our global CRM initiative. She did a great job interfacing with the multi-disciplinary functions gaining the necessary respect and cooperation to not only make it a successful launch but also a key business tool going forward. Barb is self-motivated and has the ability to work well independently and as a part of a team. She is driven to succeed and brings a great competitive streak to her work. She is highly intelligent, with an eye for detail, and is creative in her thought processes. I highly recommend her for a position.

Barbera is up to the challenge for whatever awaits her in her new role at Nord Gear.
