  Neumann University

  Director

  I was responsible for the total operations of a multi-million dollar enterprise within the higher education marketplace. I realized sales increases of approximately 12-15% per year as a result of targeted marketing campaigns, the production of market trend reports and the creation of solid accounting and inventory management protocols. I drove IT enhancements to establish sustainable market reach through e-commerce sites, social media and other internal networks. The implementation of point of sale terminals helped carry the endeavor into the 21st century. In addition to solid business practices, I was also tasked with branding functions for the university. I was associated with the committee for change management when the institution transitioned from college to university status. Most items one would see with the graphic standards of the Neumann logo emblazoned upon it were purchased and or designed by me in association with the screen printing and embroidery companies that physically produced the product.
