Summary
Multi- talented business leader bringing 33 years of experience as a successful entrepreneur and business owner. Strategic problem solver and creative thinker. I started my company at the young age of 23 as a female in a male dominated industry. Started with nothing and grew the company to be a worldwide recognized national brand of Motorcycle holding two patents. Solely responsible for dealer development and sales with over 150 dealers worldwide at the height of the business. Due to economic challenges in the automotive and leisure toy market I oversaw the restructure and changes necessary to survive. Extremely skilled in customer service, customer relations, attention to detail and building lasting client relationships. Have adapted, changed and restructured to maintain the business and be the only surviving company of its kind within the aftermarket motorcycle industry. Failure is not an option.
