Attraction Turnaround
My team took this struggling water park to a successful sale for ownership. We developed a revised marketing plan, customer service guidelines, and operating budget. With no capital investment, we increased profitability and customer service scores.
Contract Manufacturing
A small women-owned contract manufacturing business that had 10 employees and $1M in annual revenues. This was the first business that I bought using an SBA 7a loan. I had no previous military contract manufacturing experience before this venture. After five years, the company had over 50 employees and over $4M in gross revenue. We received the Harris GCSD Small Business of the Year four of the five years. This company was sold to Spectrum Controls in 2011.
