Dear Sirs;

Every business wants to maximize the productivity of its employees. It is risky to state absolutes, but with regard to productivity there are few, if any, legitimate exceptions to this rule. It is worth repeating, every business wants to maximize the productivity of its employees. A quick scan of my resume shows that I have managed a variety of projects. I have the experience to be immediately productive. Today's markets are fast changing. To thrive in an environment of change an organization must be ready to respond. One must be ready to profit from change by executing planned responses.

Do you want profits? The hard reality is that risk taking is necessary in today's business environment. A manager who takes risk, makes waves. Take Carl Icahn for example, he is infamous for rocking the boat, but as his success shows, rocking the boat is necessary to get it off the sandbar, to get a business profitable again. To emulate his success one must demand good data. Many chief executives have asked, "How did I get into this situation?" The answer, while not pleasant, is simple: "You are not getting accurate data!" It is understandable why staff hedges; the politically astute will tell you what they think you want to here. The survival instinct is particularly strong in the management ranks, being smart is, after all, how they rose to management. It takes courage to standup in front of your peers and your boss to speak the truth. It is surely a way to make a target of yourself, not a good way to stay whole.

Some, in high places, have recently stated that corporate executives are "stupid". A better take on the situation is that, it is very hard to make smart business decision when the data you are given is corrupt. Is your organization stuck? Do you want to get back into the rapid business currents? If so, sponsor change; count on me to help bring a fresh perspective to your business. If given the mandate, I will be a fulcrum of change.

The heart of any enterprise is its people. I will coordinate your resources to fulfill the needs and expectations of all stakeholders. The initial step toward success is to explicitly state those needs. The final step is to fulfill the stakeholder expectations. 

The challenges of coordinating multiple teams, in a fast paced environment is rewarding. I am ready to apply my experience to your business.

Thank you for considering me for this position.
