Bio
John Wickson
I had the opportunity to work with Danita for over two years during the most challenging time in our Company's history. She is an independent leader, comfortable leading her overseas region with minimal support from headquarters, and is relentless in pursuit of her goals. She cultivates and maintains excellent relationships throughout her region with customers, suppliers and alliance partners which enabled her to maintain and grow revenue in her region, while simultaneously reducing costs.
