Bio
Mike Smith
It was great working with Ned. He came onto the team and immediately made an impact. Not only did he learn the nuances of the business quickly, he was able to relay those clearly to help drive revenue. Luck was not on Ned's side, and our time together was short, but I would absolutely recommend Ned for any role in Biz Dev/Marketing. He understands people, builds relationships fast, and is a quick learner. In a role that touches revenue, what more could you ask for? I am always willing to speak to anyone about why Ned would be an asset for their company. He simply builds advocates for your brand as quickly as anyone could.

Ned is the kind of guy you want on your team working toward goals. He is an intelligent leader with an analytical mind. He has a vast wealth of knowledge that he willingly shares with others. I really like that he thinks like a business owner and lends himself to other people and departments to ensure all goals are met, not just his personal goals. If I owned a company and needed his product & marketing experience, I would definitely hire him to lead that group. He is a true asset to Exacto and the people he supports with his expertise.
