1. Good morning, My name is John Smith and I have a strong background in marketing, sales and general management in the consumer goods industry. My focus going forward is a leadership role in a small to mid-sized organization that has a good entrepreneurial spirit, along with the desire and ability to grow. Again, my name is John Smith.

2. Hello, my name is Bill Jones. I was most recently the EVP & CTO of Integ, a medical diagnostics company. My experience has been in creating and commercializing medical and high-tech products. I am searching for a COO or other senior executive position as part of a small or mid-sized company that needs fast development of leading-edge technology products. Thank you, I’m Bill Jones.

3. I’m Mike Johnson, and I am seeking a senior management role in technology. I want to either build or fix things–“things” BEING either products or organizations. My last role was as CIO reviving a troubled IT organization in healthcare. My software experience is extensive. I’ve launched real products in commercial markets; deployed strategic systems and applications; and am old enough to know not only the origin of the term “software bug” but how to eliminate them. If you want a “can do” leader, call me…. I’m Mike Johnson.
