Bio
Michael Gelson
I supervised Bill for over 4 years in his role as marketing manager at Texas Instruments. Bill managed and had direct oversight of the major appliance motor protection business growth and was the key person responsible for closing new business opportunities at strategic major OEM customers. I found Bill to be very skilled at uncovering customer needs and in building relationships with customers, coworkers and strategic partners. Bill brings a high level of organization to his work with a common sense approach to problem solving. He works very well across functional boundaries using a logical, objective, energetic and decisive approach. Bill's attention to details and interpersonal skills had a direct result in increased revenue. I have no doubt that Bill would be an excellent addition to any organization.

In Bill's last postion, I worked with him as a senior colleage but prior to this Bill reported to me for five years. I have found Bill to be very detail oriented and well organized. He has a common sense approach to problem solving and typically has a big picture view of his job and how it fits into the organization. Bill is very dependable and has a "can do" attitude. He is concientious not only to his own job but to other colleages needs. I have found him always willing to take on more responsiblity and work diligently to get the job done. Bill was a key person in my organization and helped the team manage through very chaotic times keeping a solid focus on the task at hand. He was instrumental in preserving relationships at customers and working strategies to maintain and grow our market presence. He is able form solid relationships both internally and with the customers. I feel Bill would be a solid addition to any organization.
