President and COO/CFO

• Jul 1997 - Apr 2016

Anocoil Corporation was a leading manufacturer of environmentally friendly printing plates for the newspaper and commercial printing industries. Anocoil was known for its leading edge products and service and had 3 of the best plate products in the industry. These products and our advanced manufacturing facilities attracted the attention of two buyers, with Presstek offering the most attractive offer. Controllership of Sale to Presstek Served as the driving force behind the sale of Anocoil by adeptly identifying two separate buyers, and negotiating with both until Presstek came through with a premium bid. Stabilized and Guided Anocoil through a Significant Downturn Acted as a stabilizing force throughout a massive drop in product demand by negotiating favorable terms with a lender (five forbearance agreements, seven loan amendments), and securing a large capital injection ($6.25M) from the majority stockholder and major vendors to keep operations running smoothly while pursuing a sale. Ensured research & development (R&D) provided resources necessary to continue producing cutting-edge technology instrumental in drawing in the two bidders. Envisioned, designed, and implemented financial and operational information systems to create three data pipelines for tracking revenues by product, customer, and salesperson. Show less
