About Vern Swartley
With a track record of over 30 years in business development, encompassing both domestic and international markets, I continually improve upon the essential skills needed to drive growth in the Maritime domain for Belcan. Then add the decades of Belcan / Cognizant demonstrated engineered solutions in the aerospace, defense and commercial markets, my team and I are experiencing exceptional success in the shipyards, with the primes, and their suppliers. My professional focus lies in anticipating and fulfilling customer needs, as evidenced by my completion of numerous market assessments, pursuit evaluations, and capture/proposal executions. These solutions primarily involve technical expertise and a comprehensive understanding of program development, production, and aftermarket phases. Moreover, I possess practiced interpersonal skills, which enable me to align internal resources and facilitate effective customer communication, ultimately enhancing our ability to secure new business wins.
