Thank you for your interest in my current cv.

With some senior folks offering the highest experience and capability managing current metalworking technology (which used to be called machine tools) marketing, sales, applications and service many Ontario suppliers of such bypass these folks to settle on much younger and a lot less experienced / capable folks doing themselves a great disfavour . . . while ignoring the Ontario human rights code anti-discrimination law as outlined in the Ontario Human Rights’ Age Discrimination brochure.

Try to find a younger capable manager who:

- does all the current on-line marketing including website design/publishing/maintenance for his/her employer

- has over 45 years of high-level experience in managing capital equipment marketing, sales, application engineering and service as currently needed

- has traveled around the world to visit the largest metalworking technology suppliers with the most prominent customers

- can guide a supplier’s marketing, sales, application engineering and service team for continuous performance and business success.
