General Manager & Senior Leadership Team, Mid-Continent
Pason Systems UCorp.General Manager & Senior Leadership Team, Mid-Continent
Mar. 2017 - Apr. 2021Calgary, Canada Area and Oklahoma, OKCORPORATE PROFILE: A $475M Energy services and Technology Company with 800 employees. RESPONSIBILITY PROFILE: Reporting to the VP USBU and SLT with a $3.5-$5.5M OPEX, $500K-750K CAPEX, $18-35M Revenue Goal and 18-32 direct employees per assignment. Responsible for managing daily operations, creating/implementing a business growth strategy with full P&L responsibility, and reporting key results to leadership. ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLE SALES OPTIMIZATION / SALES RECAPTURE / SALES ENGAGEMENT • Six months after releasing a new product not one sale was made, so I spearheaded efforts to transform our sales strategy to directly communicate value proposition. I also appointed individual leads for in-depth product training to subsequently train other Field Technicians. We secured our first sale within 14 days, and 25% product adoption within the first month. Regionally, the product generated $2.5M in the first year, and this sales strategy was adopted by all BUs in the US.
General Manager, Senior Leadership - Canadian Business Unit
Pason Systems Corp.General Manager, Senior Leadership - Canadian Business Unit
Nov. 2015 - Feb. 2017Calgary, Alberta, CanadaRESPONSIBILITY PROFILE: As GM of the Canadian BU, I reported to the CEO with a $22.5M OPEX, $4.5M CAPEX, $42M Revenue Goal and 84-106 employees with 10-14 direct reports per assignment. I was in charge of setting operational policies, managing daily operations, working with customers, creating and maintaining budgets, and seeing through execution of a restructuring. ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLE RESTRUCTURING / CHANGE MANAGEMENT • In the wake of the most significant industry collapse in recent times, the CEO and COO promoted and tasked me to restructure the BU and address inefficiencies to maintain profitability. I led due diligence the first 60 days and crafted a strategy. The following 2 months, I led a RIF, redefined, and consolidated roles and responsibilities, and communicated rollout process, vision, goals, and objectives while defending market share and a new pricing. The restructuring reduced total operating costs by 41%, and the CBU outperformed the 2016 budget with 25% greater revenue and 33% greater EBITDA, exceeding leadership expectations by 9%. EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT / COACHING / MENTORING • As a result of the restructure, regional management's job description expanded to include P&L and sales responsibilities, but all were first-time managers with no previous professional training. I was charged by the COO to deliver heightened training. The first 60 days, I built a development plan, performed evaluations, and communicated expectations. Once completed, I outlined a mentor program, fostered outside-the-box thinking, reevaluated progress to align development with the BU’s goals. These efforts were the catalyst for continued success in the BU, retaining a marquee client ($18M annual revenue), and these training methodologies are now SOP in the CBU.

Pason Systems Corp.General Manager, Senior Leadership Canadian Business Unit (ACHIEVEMENTS PART 2)
Jan. 2015 - Dec. 2017Calgary, Alberta, CanadaACHIEVEMENTS CONTINUED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT / REVENUE / SALES CAPTURE STRATEGY / SERVICE LINE EXPANSION • A customer was soliciting proposals from competitors for a data quality product that was not offered by the company. Thus, I created a business case and sales strategy to pilot a product and over the next 75 days, I worked with a subsidiary company, 3PS, and the customer to conceptualize design. This secured the customer and introduced a new service offering. In addition, I led the team to identify other opportunities, which resulted in the creation of additional services that drove new revenue with 85% margins.
Regional Manager, Mid Continent
Pason Systems Corp.Regional Manager, Mid Continent
Oct. 2007 - Nov. 2015Calgary, Alberta, CanadaRESPONSIBILITY PROFILE: When I started for Pason, I reported to the VP USBU with a $3-$7.5M OPEX, $300K-750K CAPEX, $18-35M Revenue Goal and 14-35 direct employees per assignment. I provided operational direction, managed P&L for the region, and provided strategic direction to Sales Account Managers and Field Technicians. ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLE OPERATIONAL OPTIMIZATION / ATTRITION REVERSAL • For 2 decades, a lack of established Best Practices/SOPs and siloed communication resulted in operational disarray and high attrition. To reverse this, I began to define scope, roles and responsibilities, and created/facilitated Best Practice meetings. I also navigated change resistance to establish timelines, expectations, stakeholder communication methodology, and metrics. These benchmarks improved product/service rollout, reduced costs by $3.4M YoY, improved retention 45%, asset tracking 30%, were adopted globally, and became SOP for training. Because of these improvements, I was promoted to General Manager. EBITDA GROWTH / FIELD OPERATIONS • To enhance P&L and margins, I spearheaded the creation of optimizations, especially amongst Field Technicians (FT). Over the next year, I created a regional Best Practices team, enhanced tools to enable coverage of more rigs and customers per FT, and advanced training and education of FT’s that resulted in further product adoption. This elevated EBITDA by 17% the first year (73% of revenue), and in another 5 years EBITDA was 44.6M and 81% of total revenue.

Pason Systems Corp.Regional Manager, Mid Continent (ACHIEVEMENTS PART 2)
Jan. 2007 - Dec. 2015Calgary, Alberta, CanadaACHIEVEMENTS CONTINUED TEAM DEVELOPMENT / COACHING / MENTORING / ATTRITION REVERSAL / EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT • The US Operations Manager called upon me to initiate a turnaround of an underperforming region after years of failed attempts. I evaluated and formed a strategic plan complete with performance evaluations, measurable KPI’s, feedback, and clearly defined expectations, targets, and development goals. This turnaround reduced attrition by 75% and several employees received promotions or were recognized as high performers/having leadership qualities. Margins increased per FT by 12% ($3,200/day) and Pason adopted several concepts from the performance evaluation form across the enterprise. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT RESTRUCTURE • An improper understanding of the culture was resulting in disengaged, unmotivated, and less productive employees. To reverse half a decade of misperception, I insisted that employees challenge ideas and strategies at all levels of the company. I also coached and mentored individuals, facilitated regional training sessions, and encouraged transparent communication centered around a right to understand. This challenged, motivated, and improved employee productivity on all levels. SERVICE LINE EXPANSION / COMPETITIVE DISPLACEMENT • Competition began providing an add-on product free of charge, which threatened market share. To combat this, I created a business case and strategy the first 14 days to demonstrate such a product’s efficacy in the region and persuaded the US GM over the next 3 months to provide it at a lower rental rate. The product strengthened customer confidence, displaced competitors, delivered ROI within 15 days, was rolled out Nationally, and yielded $1M in revenue with 90% margins the next 12 months, all with little to no repair or service costs.

RESPONSIBILITY PROFILE: Reporting to the Owner/President, I managed a $1.5M OPEX, $250K CAPEX, a $2M revenue goal, and 18 employees with 5 direct reports. Responsible for day-to-day franchise operations, creating culture, developing sales strategies, managing costs, recruiting new players, and increasing revenue. ACHIEVED IN THIS ROLE STRATEGIC PLANNING / CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT ● Henley purchased an underperforming team operating at a $550K/year loss due to a lack of long-term customer engagement strategy. Over the next 60 days, I made evaluations, onboarded new management aligned with the culture, formed a vision and mission, and led strategic planning to improve brand image. Within two years, the team transformed a loss into a profit, driving 12% - 17% higher revenues. The team was resold four years later for 2X the acquisition price. FACILITATED TEAM SALES ● In partnership with National Sports Services, successfully negotiated the sale of the Tupelo T-Rex and the Pensacola Ice Pilots. Additionally, as part of Henley Sports Management, facilitated the sale of the Mississauga IceDogs and Milton Merchants/IceHawks. These transactions required detailed financial analysis, strategic positioning, and effective communication with stakeholders. I also provided recommended best practice operations advice, restructuring operations, optimizing revenue streams, and enhancing brand value to ensure the teams were attractive to potential buyers.
