About Bernie Oravec

Over 20 years of executive management, human resources, marketing, business development, strategic planning, promotion and sales management experience covering a broad spectrum of media and events. Successfully worked under time sensitive deadlines my entire career. Experienced managing in both office and manufacturing plant environments. Successfully demonstrated over 13 years of profit/loss leadership experience managing major newspapers in central Pennsylvania. I have been responsible for all areas of on-site business management including daily operations, budgeting, purchasing, human resources management, regulatory compliance, crisis communications management, plant safety programs, physical plant oversight and manufacturing plant management. I have directed office/factory employees, independent contractors, training, discipline, recruiting/hiring/terminating, workplace diversity management, public relations, distribution/transportation and government relations programs. I am experienced in policy establishment, strategic planning, project management, customer service, marketing, direct sales, social media content creation, event planning, brand building, opposition research, deadline sensitive decision making and just about any major operational business function you may need. Cool under pressure and very experienced in handling highly stressful situations with proven good decision-making abilities. While extensive, my list of skills and experience was utilized and publicly displayed on a daily and weekly basis. In this industry, one must be fluid and able to adapt to changing circumstances rapidly. Vocal advocate for Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, greater government transparency and the public\'s Right-To-Know.
