Summary

Professional Skills

• Leadership - I motivate employees through my hard work ethic, my passion for increasing company profits and repeated successful examples of the team approach. I deliver company results and employees and bosses alike follow my lead because my approaches work.  I find ways to improve team atmosphere and increase efficiency in every work environment I go into.   I spent 8 years at Global Reach Inc., most of which as VP of Operations, a position with great autonomy where I had the ability to make an annual multi-million dollar difference in the organization.
• Sales & Marketing - After several years of experience as a sales and marketing director, I've also gained experience in many other jobs, including entrepreneurship since age 8.  I am able to sell and represent any product to any audience.  I'm also a tough negociator who can always get the best price.
• Project Management - I have been creating and managing profitable internet web sites since 1998 when I started rankhigh.com.  I have since created and managed over 200 profitable web sites.  I am very technologically savy and able to manage programming, marketing, webmasters and technical projects.
• Entrepreneurship - As an entrepreneur for many years, I am able to locate opportunities, make realistic goals and follow through to profitability.  I ran a popular pet sitting service for 5 years in middle/high school and ran a moving business during the busy seasons in college.  I have been running my own web site marketing business since 1998 harnessing residual income through the search engines and other marketing means.  I recently launched a sign shop and web design studio. 
• People Skills - My degree and my experience are usefull assets when it comes to managing staff.  Having spent much time at every rung of the ladder and worked with many diverse groups and personalities, I can work with challenging employees such as webmasters, programmers and network admins as well as the 'regular' 9 to 5 staff.  I build excellent relationships with customers and suppliers.   I am very patient and love taking the time to train employees to do their job well and efficiently.  I constantly encourage my staff to learn and utilize new skills.
• Computer Knowledge - I've been managing internet businesses for many years.  I know a lot about network issues and configurations, fixing hardware problems, optimizing web graphics, web site management, creating and editing photos & movies and basic programming (asp, php, databases, dhtml, javascript, java). I can code html by hand, update dns, administer UNIX and Windows servers, install CGI scripts and more.
• Languages - I can speak English and French fluently.  I also have basic knowledge of Spanish and Latin.
