Bio
Jeff Smith

Josette Calleja
I had the pleasure to work with Colleen for 10 years at CHC. She was always a determined and integral player to the Commercial team. After 7 years of being a Commercial Manager she was promoted to being our Sales Operation Director for her keen interest in the Salesforce platform and her desire and ability to standardize processes for a global team, which then previously lacked cohesiveness and discipline. Colleen standardized the sales process for the global team and ensured both training and adherence to our Salesforce system. She developed a bid policy which became "the" way of conducting a tender process across our global organization. Colleen is articulate, disciplined and has a natural affinity for order, which, she brings to her work. Her attention to detail lends itself to working with organizations that need structure and reformation particularly in Commercial, Contracts and Sales group.

MATT Concrete developed a line of patented concrete panels which utilizes 95% less concrete than a traditional concrete panel. MATT Concrete integrates sequestered Carbon (CO2) as an additive embedded into our concrete mix. The addition of CO2 allows us to further reduce the amount of concrete used, increases the strength of our finishes, and reduces carbon emissions released into the environment. MATT Concrete's goal is to allow you to do more with concrete while using less of it.
