About Daniel Zehnder

As an accomplished, customer-focused VP of Sales & Business Growth and Supply Chain Specialist, I’ve spent my career simplifying the supply chain across the agriculture and construction industries by closing the gap from design to delivery through improved processes to keep inventory low. Savvy companies realize the importance of reducing costs and transactions and simplifying the supply chain; efficiency is key to increasing profits and overall success.I offer over two decades of success launching, building, and managing the growth of multimillion-dollar industrial product manufacturing and distribution companies.Specializing in identifying market opportunities and building a clear narrative and strategy, I work to ensure a loyal value-driven client base to weather the challenges of unstable economies, industry challenges and crisis events.With a proven history of building scalable efficiencies and standardized practices, I champion continuous improvements to feed the sales funnel and drive customer success, managing complex project teams to deliver on aggressive goals. Leveraging analysis and customer insights, I have a rich history of identifying effective solutions that accelerate customer retention to grow trusted client partnerships.Over the course of my career, I have built deep, lasting relationships with clients who followed me from organization to organization. While success will come and go, the relationships you build are eternal and with solid relationships in place, success will find you.I launched and sold a highly successful company to address customer inventory and demand needs, growing revenue to $50M, and driving a 6% annual revenue increase. I ultimately negotiated the profitable sale of the company to a global leader who requested I remain for five years in a leadership role to navigate the territory and ensure proper transition.Those who know me best count me among the most dedicated, trustworthy, and credible partners in the field. My deep and proven background allows me to know when it is prudent to take risks. My out-of-the-box approach has put me ahead of the field time and again.
