About
An Optician and industry expert with 40 solid years of ophthalmic industry business management experience including practice ownership, lab ownership, national sales business development, director of operations, B2B & B2C corporate selling. With a solid background in sales, marketing and operations, I am a well seasoned sales trend analyst with a strong focus on strategic growth planning and global product placement. I’ve successfully developed sales programs across a multitude of verticals, coupled with vast managerial experience and cross-functional corporate training improvement. I’m an expert at lens consulting and Optometric practice branding. Business start-ups, affordable eyewear solutions and private label branding to give you that competitive edge are my specialty; I’ve been involved in numerous turn-key practice construction build-outs and franchise development, taking on various aspects of the required implementation and staff training. The 15 years I spent working in the industrial health and safety sector gave me an insider’s edge in safety prescription lens manufacturing, corporate safety eye protection consulting and onsite remote ophthalmic dispensing. I singlehandedly designed and developed a very strategic micro-lab concept for Hoya Lens, a very large global lens manufacturer to increase its regional and local market presence establishing new channel distribution avenues for ophthalmic lenses and lab services which eventually transpired into the first ever corporate string of franchised optical labs reaching 10 locations. As a previous wholesale lab & multiple ECP practice owner, unlike most reps and consultants, I have actually walked in your shoes and fully understand exactly what it takes to succeed. I’m always available to share my experiences, consult with your team and improve your operational efficiency and ultimately your profitability!
