After contributing to the growth of a successful cable channel and a software company for the past 13 years, I am seeking new challenges with a company in need of someone with exceptional planning, leadership, and management abilities. Taking command of an operation or project, then guiding it to new performance levels, is my greatest strength.
As evidenced in the enclosed resume my experience encompasses project management, strategic planning, resource utilization, revenue growth, and cost reduction. My ability to analyze needs and create unique solutions designed to yield a successful solution has proven to be one of my greatest assets. Credited with significantly impacting many facets of the organization, I excel at streamlining less-than-efficient procedures to boost productivity and strengthen goals. Proactive management of crucial internal and external relationships allowed me to resolve complex problems and influence the existing organizational structure.
I know that my proven leadership skills, strong commitment to high ethical and professional standards, and flexibility in devising proactive responses to the ever-changing corporate conditions would allow me to make a significant contribution to your team. I would welcome the chance to discuss my qualifications with you in greater detail. If you wish to schedule a meeting, please let me know. In the meantime, please know that I appreciate your time and consideration.
