Dear Director of Hiring:
I have had a really interesting and rewarding career. Very early in
my career as an industrial engineer, at the urging of an acquaintance
in the process of building a consulting firm, I made an exciting and
fateful shift in my focus that has defined my career for the 20 years
since. My friend required an individual capable of bringing the
discipline of an engineered approach to his consultancy practice and
business operations. With a recently earned IE degree and an already
established record of success leading change, managing staff, and
delivering solid productivity and profit improvements within
industrial settings, I was the person he sought. Over the next eight
years, I was instrumental in the growth of that consultancy to $5
million sales, eventually playing a key role in developing an M&A
program, forming a privately funded bank holding company, and then
raising $15 million in an IPO to fund acquisition of commercial banks
(I was the executive in charge of performing due diligence and
selecting/negotiating acquisitions to allocate that $15 million).
Since that time, I have been a partner and principal in three
consulting firms, at first focusing on the financial services
industry, then expanding to encompass diverse industries and
companies, specializing in developing and implementing the strategies
and plans that drive increased earnings, growth, and market
valuation. Whether working to turnaround distressed companies,
increase earnings and valuation of growing companies, or mobilize
profitable and sustainable growth for start-up companies, my value
proposition has been the same:
Create corporate wealth and bring executive vision to life by
identifying and replicating success strategies and leading the
application of lean engineering methodologies, financial discipline,
and high-impact strategic business directives.
Just a few of my results that demonstrate this value proposition,
include:
* Elevated valuation 300% and delivered 3 years of earnings growth
for an under-achieving bank.
* Grew margins to 15% and sales to $5 million for a start-up
distribution company.
* Increased pre-tax earnings $2.1 million for a dry paint production
plant.
* Reversed a 7-year history of losses at a resort property,
producing profits within just 9 months.
Now, I am seeking new opportunities to provide similar value,
applying my proven strategic and organizational development skills to
solve business issues and challenges and provide strategic direction
that will drive increased earning streams and higher levels of
corporate wealth.
Might you have a place for me on your executive team? I am currently
exploring both staff and contract positions and would welcome the
chance to meet in the near future, even if on a purely exploratory
basis, to discuss your needs and my potential to fulfill them.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to speaking
with you soon.
Sincerely,
Michael Collum
