East View Information ServicesManaging Director (East View Map Link)
Sep. 2011 - Apr. 2016Plymouth, Minnesota, United StatesAs Managing Director, the position was responsible for the overall performance of the company, and reported directly to the CEO of the East View Companies. In addition to the general responsibilities of a company leader, there were three major endeavors which took place: Warehouse Move – In early 2012, the company moved warehouses and my role was responsible for finding the new facility overseeing the preparations for the move from the old facility, overseeing the physical move, and creating a new floorplan in the new facility which was both operationally functional and served the needs of the other two East View companies. Acquisition of Longitude Books – In late 2012, East View Map Link acquired a company which would complement the existing business well. My role was responsible for the delivery of the new company’s assets from New York City to Minneapolis, assimilating the new company’s workflow into the existing company's workflow, and hiring new staff to provided editorial help (something which was not part of the original company’s operations.) Transition of the print on demand department from East View Geospatial to East View Map Link - In 2015, East View management decided to move the operations of the print on demand business into the East View Map Link facility. As a result, the front end of the warehouse needed to be finished out, an area for the print on demand machines created and the print on demand business needed to be assimilated into the East View Map Link business. My role was in charge of overseeing all the transition areas for this change.
