Chuck Kitchen

With extensive experience in industrial B2B manufacturing and distribution, ranging from field sales to executive leadership and board positions in organizations of diverse sizes and types, both public and private, I look to bring the following attributes to a progressive organization: • Strong organizational, planning, and project management skills. • Proficient in problem-solving, communication, presentation, facilitation, and influencing skills. • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, promoting teamwork and achieving common goals while maintaining professional integrity and ethical conduct. • Exceptional energy, enthusiasm, and dedication to initiate action and achieve tangible results. • Proven history of creative and strategic thinking to devise innovative solutions for complex challenges.

During my tenure with a company facing financial challenges, I orchestrated a rapid turnaround, converting negative cash flow into a positive stream within the first year. This strategic approach, involving diversifying the customer base, exploring new markets, and expanding product lines, led to a 54% increase in sales and a 6-percentage point elevation in gross margin.

My passion is driving sustainable revenue growth, increased profits, and significant business outcomes by aligning the sales effort with the rest of the organization. I thrive on pushing the limits of what is possible to create best-in-class organizations.
