New Business Development Manager

Nov 2015 - Jan 2019
Since joining Align in 2016, I have took an aggressive stance toward growing the existing customer relationships within Align and developing new business opportunities. These efforts have directly resulted in 75% sales revenue growth in the Northeast from FY2016 to 2018, following a 5-year declining sales trend prior to my arrival. I solicited, negotiated, designed and lead the implementation of 3 new multi-year, multi-million dollar VMI contracts which have increased market penetration within the region, and all other existing contracts were renewed and expanded. In addition to shoring up our contractual business, I also cultivated new business opportunities at other customers leading to an increase in OEM transactional business and a positive booking to sales ratio that indicates a strong future outlook within the Northeast region.

Jul 2012 - Sep 2015
Since 2012, in addition to UTAS (formerly Hamilton Sundstrand), I have added to the portfolio of customer groups under my management to include other customers such as Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, GE, BAE, etc. during 2 promotions to assume the responsibility for 2 additional teams. This has increased the total revenue under my direction to over $60M. Having 17 direct reports, I have also taken responsibility for metrics generation and standardization throughout the NJ branch, and developed a Continuous Improvement tracking process that allows visual management and ownership of issues by all employees. I have responsibility for all customer satisfaction, growth strategies, contract renewals, and customer metric generation.

Jul 2006 - Jul 2010
In 2006, I took responsibility of our relationship with the company's second largest customer, to oversee the implementation and management of a newly signed 10 year agreement with Hamilton Sundstrand. Originally valued at $10M per year, during this time period, the value of the program grew to 2.5x's the original estimated value. Having assumed responsibility for all aspects of customer management, I developed an extensive metrics package, covering all aspects of On Time Delivery, Quality Acceptance, Overdue Reduction, etc. The package provided extensive root cause / corrective action analysis, where I worked both internally and with the customer to minimize contributing factors and change processes to improve BE performance. The resulting customer increase in business is evidence that the techniques were well taken.

Engineering Account Executive / Outside Sales

Jul 2002 - Jul 2006
My previous role within NYF Corp. allowed me to gain invaluable experience and familiarization with the core workings of our Value Added Services processes. During my tenure as Engineering Account Executive, I also obtained my MBA and MSM in Supply Chain Management, in addition to completing several certificate programs in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma through Villanova. I used my sales experience and my education in process analysis, design, and reconstruction to direct multiple Kaizen's / Value Stream Mapping sessions, both internally and externally, domestic and internationally, to create efficiencies that would save hard and soft costs, increase production, and minimize non-value-added activities. Customers supported and lead through these process design sessions include Northrop Grumman, Hamilton Sundstrand, Airpax, and WABTEC Electronics.
