Bio
Ken Walmsley
I have known Wendy for 30 years and as a colleague for 20 years. I would be joined by many others that know her in saying that she is the consummate credit professional. In an area that is often confrontational, Wendy excels in understanding the fine balance between sales and the need to assure that payment terms are met; creating opportunities to expand a sales customer base through expert credit evaluation while minimizing risks. She is passionate about her profession and is always looking for new and unique ways to expand upon her proven skills. Wendy is proficient in problem solving. She is a quick read of the issue and facilitates the gathering of the proper personnel to find the solution. Wendy's most impressive asset is how she works with others, whether external or internal customers. She is equally comfortable as a team player or a leader. She is always pleasant, professional, and has a wonderful sense of humor. All of these attributes along with her many years of experience provides a calming affect over a stressful situation. Though my experience with Wendy has been working in credit and collections her skill sets, that I have keenly observed, would transcend seamlessly into other areas. Please feel free to contact me and allow me to expand on how Wendy would be an asset to your team. Ken Walmsley Director of Corporate Credit Edw. C. Levy Co kwalmsley@edwclevy.net

Wendy is a consistent and reliable co-worker. I had the pleasure of working with her for three years at the KSI, sharing a corner of the office. Wendy always cares for her fellow employees and is very supportive in their personal and professional manners. Any healthy company culture needs a person like Wendy on their staff.

I determined credit holds and prepared residential and commercial lien rights, lien wavers, lien discharges, bonds and payoff letters. As a leader, I directed and guided the activities of Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and Sales teams. I engaged with company executives, legal counsel, collection agencies and banks. I also fostered a positive culture, contributed to business strategy and motivated strong performance. During my tenure, I: • Approved large credit lines and collected 6-figure sums. • Sustained a 60 days or better Average Day Sales Outstanding rate by consistently monitoring customer accounts and controls. • Empowered the Credit team to release credit holds based on specific criteria, which removed leadership roadblocks, supported the business cadence and enabled the company to capitalize on time sensitive opportunities. • Represented the company’s Credit interests in Construction industry trade groups.

Credit Manager & Analyst

2001 - 2003
I managed cash posting, balancing and collection on 100+ credit accounts for this privately held Sand & Gravel company, operating in a highly controlled industry. I reviewed aging and credit reports, processed and balanced credit card transactions and monitored and posted collection payments. I also prepared and disseminated professional communications and secured M-DOT and private bond rights and claims within stringent timeframes. I ensured quality customer service throughout challenging credit situations. Additionally, I managed multiple process improvement projects. Most notably, I: • Sustained company operations by collecting on a large account that was folding. This required multiple calls per week, picking up checks anytime the customer could afford to pay and maintaining a productive relationship that enabled full account collection. • Saved the company time and money through continuous improvement of processes and systems. • Increased the company’s successful collections by developing a 60-day beyond terms letter that reminded customers of their payment terms and informed them about collection steps. I further modernized this process by initiating email reminders. • Fostered positive company culture through supportive leadership, by taking the time to listen to all employees and through cross-functional activities that built team comradery.
