Work History

Executive Vice President of Sales

Medela Gloves
02.2023 - Current

I consult with the Owner on methods to start a glove business and utilize my extensive list of C-Suite contacts in the Medical Industry. My role is consulting to maximise sales in a consistent pattern working with the new plant, logistics, and bringing opportunities to reach our short and long term sales goals. I also have Ownership in the Company. We have built a new facility in Malaysia and preparing to turn it on producing thousands of gloves each day for the North American Market. This new plant is automated to reduce costs. Our short term goal is to capture 5% of the Nitrile Exam Glove business or approximately 70 million gloves or $3 million dollars. Our 5-year plan is to bring sales to $30 million and list the company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. We would be open for an acquisition at this time.
