His accomplishments with companies in transition include acting as COO for a manufacturer of automatic identification and computer networking products where he increased profitability and shareholder value by 90% and generated $50 million in new business, within 12 months.

Earlier, Ron was recruited back by a $500 million manufacturer where he instituted technical, marketing, operational and financial changes that nearly tripled revenue and profitability, and established the company as the global market leader.

Other successes include directing the return to profitability of a $75 million supplier of textile products, and transforming a $100 million distributor of consumer goods from a price-driven supplier to a customer-driven market leader. In the later case, he increased revenue by 23% and led the company from an operating loss to profits of 11% pre-tax.

Ron's success in the commercialization and marketing of advanced technologies ranges from the creation and leadership of highly successful new ventures for Avery Dennison and Scott Paper, to having CEO responsibilities in several early stage and middle market companies. In total, the new ventures or new companies he led generated in excess of $500 million in revenue and over $60 million in EBITDA, during his tenure.
