About John Oconnor

I\'ve turned my experience and passion for the outdoors into a 30 year career in start-up and Fortune 500 companies. I\'ve been rewarded for my hard work and vision, leading sales and marketing teams to achieve revenue and market share goals. My strong relationships with customers have enabled me to \"win the ties\" and it is those relationships, more than the number achievements, I value most. I\'ve been recognized as a strong public speaker and enjoy the international and domestic travel required of my jobs. As a strategist I communicate the vision and as a leader I execute to strong results. I have two ears and one mouth, I use them proportionately. Specialties: Strategy and tactic-driven; P&L oriented; direct sales, strong track record of managing, growing and motivating sales and marketing teams, strong financial acumen, relationship building, solid communication skills: written, oral and listening. Public speaker, dedicated employee, leader.
