Industry Sector Specialist – Energy
-
Jun 2008 - Oct 2017
I am currently responsible for sales and product development for five energy sectors in Canada: Nuclear, Hydro, Solar, Wind, and Oil & Gas. I started as a Technical Sale Representative, but after one year there was a severe downturn in the economy and was asked to handle more of a supportive role. I was given a tremendous amount of responsibilities, all of which I exceeded anyone’s expectations. This triggered a change in the structure of the company where I was responsible for many aspects of the operation, and received a new title of “Technical Applications Specialist”. Some of those responsibilities were as follows: Market Specialist; Project Planner; Production Planner; Marketing and Publications; Database Management; Technical Support; CAD Technician; Trainer. I worked for two years in that role and Wieland Canada’s sales grew 40%, and were the highest they have ever been in the company’s 25 years in Canada. Show less

Account Manager

Apr 2005 - Jun 2008
My ambition to be an Account Manager in the electrical industry was set in stone when I was in grade 10 and I strived to obtain this position and to be the best. I continuously exceeded all expectations and I had the largest territory with the most growth in the company. I am extremely technical which allowed me to have a supporting role with my customers. During my time as an Inside Sale Representative at Electro Sonic, I gained a lot of sales experience with large companies who are expecting the job done correctly and immediately. During that time I was also responsible for New Business Development , where my manager gave me an idea of what he wanted and I made it my responsibility to make it happen, and more. New Business succeeded beyond my managers initial requirements, I was then tasked with creating an “Industrial Sales Group” to focus on larger industrial accounts. I was responsible for over 100 accounts and my annual budget was several million dollars, the “Industrial Sales Group” continues to be a success today. Show less

As Sales and Instillation Technician for Highpoint, I was responsible for installing various HVAC devices such as air conditioners, furnaces, industrial venting, water heaters, plumbing, and many different electrical jobs. I was responsible for the sale, set-up and maintenance of these systems. Several contractors worked together on projects and I was able to work with other contractors on other jobs, allowing me to gain practical hands-on experience with most trades.
