About

✉ rvanderbloomen@gmail.com I have always found a way to continuously improve and grow the world around me. I have accomplished this by reaching out to people, listening to their needs, and then working together to create a vision for what tomorrow will look like. What I have learned is that leading and developing a team that delivers results is a truly gratifying journey. In my previous roles I have focused on delivering results through strategic planning, P&L management, operational excellence, and synergizing innovative teams that enrich the experience for all by utilizing my enthusiasm for change and my desire to build new relationships and cultivate existing partnerships that are mutually beneficial. The combination of growing a business through sales and operational efforts, having the best products and professional services on the market, creating environments in which teams are developed and can achieve, and managing the day to day operations of a business through strategic decision making is at the heart of why I look forward to each new day.
