About Sam Haugh

Thanks for visiting my LinkedIn profile. I’m Sam Haugh; I sold my business in 2021 in order to semi-retire and spend more time doing the things I love, but still maintain several clients and am open to intriguing opportunities to collaborate. I hold a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA, both from Stanford University. I have a multi-functional background in R&D, manufacturing, marketing, finance, and operations. In a forty-year career I’ve worked in mature organizations, in early-stage companies and founded startups, so I have a broad perspective about functional disciplines, leadership, growth and the entrepreneurial spirit. Most recently I was Owner and President of The Alternative Board® (TAB) Reno-Tahoe, working with business owners and CEOs to improve their sales, profits, and overall business operations, aligning them with their personal visions of success. I brought leaders from non-competing industries into a group setting, like a board of directors, to help each other work on the problems, issues and opportunities they face in their companies. In between monthly meetings I would provide one-on-one coaching to help them stay on track in pursuit of their goals. I still maintain several coaching clients and am open to compelling opportunities to create value, so please reach out to me, and let\'s discuss what you have going on. Those \"things I love\" include mountain biking and hiking with my black lab Bella, fishing, skiing, shooting, playing golf. I\'m an outdoor sporting enthusiast. I enjoy photography, cooking, building things and world travel.
