Advisory Board Members
Ron was a key asset to the turnaround and restructure team that plugged the $25 million annual shortfall of our Western Division. His keen analytical abilities and sense of strategic direction made him a leader in solving this insurmountable drain on our revenues.
NABOE has been an amazing experience and has provided numerous opportunities to speak with other business owners in the area. I am able to learn about their challenges, how they have handled them and also been able to offer my own experience to others as well. It’s time very well spent.
Ron was an invaluable asset to our executive team. His outstanding research challenged the status-quo by showing that the market’s assessment of credit growth was tied to bricks and mortar branches was wrong. His findings changed our perceptions and ultimately made MBNA possible.
