ABOUT GREGORY DEVINE

I\'m a creative, experienced, and results-orientated senior marketing and business development professional with career success developing strategic marketing and business development plans. I have a passion for bringing people together to accomplish great things. I have a love of language and problem-solving, and thrive in a fast-paced, demanding environment. As a natural leader that leads by example, I have the ability to organize and synthesize information to see the big picture without losing sight of the details. I\'m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get things done - my days in journalism taught me a healthy respect for deadlines. Faced with new opportunities, I\'ve expanded my skill set to include an integrated approach to marketing/communications and business development. I\'ve developed strategies to not only increase the reach of marketing/communications initiatives but also link them with business development objectives and overall corporate goals. I can craft the strategy, develop the materials and meet with the client to make sure the message is delivered. My list of accomplishments include leading four company re-brands, implementing two different CRM systems that resulted in the creation of a tool to manage the company\'s sales pipeline, developing integration plans for acquisitions, and creating the successful application for the prestigious Canada\'s Best Managed Companies award for two separate companies.Even though I love words and their different shades of meaning I\'m a strong believer in tying marketing/communications/business development to deliverable results. I constantly seek new areas of self-improvement and am never satisfied with a project - it can always be done better the next time around. I balance being result-driven with a dry sense of humour and a personality that takes it all in stride.Specialties: Leadership, Management, Team Building, Mentoring, Marketing Strategy, Business Development Strategy, Content Marketing, Proposal Writing, Social Media Marketing, Branding and Identity, Customer Relationship Management, Digital Marketing, Strategic Planning, Sales Enablement, Mergers & Acquisitions, Change Management, Presentation Skills, Media Relations, Competitive Intelligence
