Allan has relevant leadership experience managing business operations with full "bottom-line" responsibility. He has proven skills in organizational design & development, strategic planning, customer service management, and financial control. Capable of bringing successful leadership qualities to businesses seeking effective change management, Allan will work with customers to ensure that strong financial management practices, personalized employee development activities, and effective organizational team building efforts are implemented and maintained. Allan's background includes direct, cross-functional experience managing sales, operations, and administrative support areas in manufacturing, distribution, and direct to consumer businesses. He began his career as a member of the financial group with a relatively large, heavy manufacturing business. While working in that environment for nearly twenty years his role expanded beyond finance to include human resources, production, sales, and overall general management responsibilities. Markets served during that time included the automotive, aerospace, and oil & gas industries. Looking for a change, Allan left the heavy manufacturing industry to work within the small business community. Over the last fifteen years he has held general management positions with light manufacturing, distribution, and direct to consumer businesses serving the outdoor recreation, municipal, and childhood education markets. Throughout that time he has enjoyed much more direct customer contact, has been personally involved in the development and implementation of improved order management practices in service oriented organizations, active in both the sale and acquisition of businesses, and responsible for increasing revenue and profits by implementing margin based sales strategies. Prior to joining InterLINK Allan started a business in the Pittsburgh area, which he has owned and operated during the last five years. Over that time he has dealt with nearly all of the difficulties typically faced by the small business owner; issues relating to banking relationships, personnel, marketing campaigns, cash flow constraints, customer service management, and planning for the future. Allan's formal education includes a B.S. in economics and an MBA with a concentration in finance. To contact Allan directly: 724.941.6141 |
