I have 24 years of sales and marketing management experience with the John Deere Company, the world's leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment. I am an accomplished leader within the agricultural and turf equipment industry with extensive experience working in the dealer channel.
Due to a reorganization within John Deere, I have elected to take an early retirement and pursue other interests. My objective is to continue to call on Ag and Turf dealers in the US and Canada as an independent representative for quality lines of equipment. I have extensive personal relationships with dealer principals throughout both the US and Canada.
I am highly skilled in managing strategic business partnerships, to include business development and dealer relationship management. I have a broad knowledge of the multitude of customer segments within the agricultural and turf industries. I have an extensive history managing the sales and marketing of various product lines within John Deere. I have well developed skills in general business unit management with P&L responsibilities, financial management, brand management, sales and marketing management, and managing aftermarket product support systems, all specifically focused on the agricultural and turf industries.
