During careers spanning over 30 years, I have successfully launched consumer products, imported and exported goods, developed sales/dealer networks and supported them with creative marketing programs.-These activities called on skills in needs-analysis, business planning, innovation and fresh approaches in new or challenging markets. For example, envisioning, planning, marketing and executing major trade events, into non-traditional markets.-Creative writing, strong English language skills, and the ability to discern an effective approach have always been strong suits for me. My writing styles can be formal if required, but I excel at engaging, personal writing to which readers can easily relate.
