Bio
L. Richard Walsh
I met Suzanne in late 2010 when she accepted an entry level administrative position within our company where I was the Chief Operating Officer and we worked much closer when she transitioned to a sales position within one of our operating units. She has since developed into a skilled regional business development manager. To say that Suzanne is a hard worker would be an understatement. She has a thirst for knowledge and is constantly looking for opportunities to gain knowledge and for self-improvement. Suzanne looks at everything as an opportunity and her positive and enthusiastic approach is refreshing. Suzanne put herself through school and came out not owning anyone a penny. Her resourcefulness, attention to detail, and drive impressed all around her as she basically made her own opportunities and then pressed them to full potential. She is an asset to any team that is lucky enough to have her and she has my highest respect and recommendation.
