With over 25 years of executive-level sales and business development experience, I'm a proven leader in the packaging and capital equipment industries. I've held senior roles including Vice President and Executive Vice President, overseeing U.S. and Canadian sales operations, dealer networks, and direct representation for leading brands such as CARTES, DGM, Fort Dearborn, and Tapp Label.
