Bio
Harsh Ranjan
Brent is a great person in every way! He has proven to be an exceptional colleague and a great friend. In my time working with him, he has been integral to developing key strategies to grow our company’s business and partnerships with national distributors across North America, along with managing a successful sales team. Brent has a natural ability to form close ties with consumers and internal team members by using his knowledge, wit, and humor. This has come in handy on several occasions, such as handling client issues or inspiring the team to go above and beyond on daunting projects. I strongly believe this makes Brent a natural resonant leader and it takes barely a moment for those around him to appreciate this. He is always willing to learn and implement new software and strategies to make well-thought-out decisions. An example of this is when adopted various data analytical tools to manage the sales team and identify growth opportunities. Additionally, he even helped me overhaul Syntron Material Handling University programs to make them more fun and engaging based on his vast knowledge of the industry and customer expectations. Due to the COVID pandemic’s travel ban, he even developed remote training sessions for our customers and manufacturing representatives to keep them engaged with our company. To conclude, Brent’s strength lies in being a great sales executive who can work in challenging situations and complete objectives while maintaining a motivated team. I am confident that any organization lucky enough to have Brent is going to have happy customers, employees, and tremendous results!

Brent's ability to quickly assess issues and focus on solutions is above par. Along with being a great communicator, he understands how to eliminate noise in the business that isn't useful to the process. HIs positivity brings people together and his attitude of caring gets the best out of the people he works with. Working with Brent makes everyone's job easier.
