Hi Liz,I really need a summary spruce up. I have been looking for a new opportunity
for about three months but don't feel my summary is communicating my abilities.
Here it is:
Summary:
Bottom line focused, goal driven, proven leader with twenty years progressive
experience in improving customer service, profit margins and cost reduction in
global enterprises. Demonstrated success in improving organizational
performance through strategic planning, process management, staff development
and technology application across supply chain functions. Industrial engineer
by trade with Master¢s degree in business administration.
As background, I have worked for a privately owned, multi million
dollar, wholesale distributor for the past 10 years as an Operations Manager and
later General Manager. As an Operations Manager, I led a company turnaround,
restoring profitability and increasing net profit by 8%. I also increased
inventory turns by 50%, re-engineered several key business processes that
increased cash flow and decreased debt, and leveraged purchasing volume which
increased gross profit 7%. As a General Manager, I had P&L responsibility in a
jack of all trades role, overseeing all functions. I developed and implemented
a strategic plan resulting in company wide focus on customer service that grew
sales by 5% in the first year, mobilized a multifunctional team in the analysis,
recommendation, and implementation of an ERP system, and negotiated the
acquisition of the company by a $10 billion competitor. Prior to working for
this company, I worked for 10 years at a
Fortune 30 company as an IT manager overseeing new information system
development and support across a variety of supply chain organizations.
I would like to work in a similar role as a General Manager or Unit Manager or
whatever title would be appropriate. Any help would be appreciated!

ANN'S NEW SUMMARY
I am a General Manager/Division President fresh off a P/L assignment managing
$75M in revenue and 350 employees for a wholesale distributor. I'm seeking the
next opportunity to grow a business using the operations, client-service and
people-management skills that allowed me to engineer a turnaround resulting in a
one-year, 8% bump in profits. I got my last employer into shape for successful
acquisition by a $10B player; now I'm ready to move the markers for sales,
profitability and industry reputation in a new environment.
Cheers -- Liz
