International Business and Cultural Experience

 In times of misalliances, I learned that renegotiation and at times contract revision were necessary in coming
to an agreement that not only satisfied both parties, but benefited them as well, while keeping the
organization’s goals in mind. Doing so taught me how to relate to and understand our nation’s differences
with another’s, and weld thosedifferences into a beneficial partnership, giving me a global perspectiveon
negotiation.
Thought Leadership
 Upon thediscovery of inefficient data analysis, I created an accountability program, which resulted in
profitable and productive asset control.
 As an asset manager, I detected weak spots within our confidential accounting systemthat allowed for
potentialpilfering, and therefore took measures to provide security for our assets, leading to 100% efficiency
of products.
