I am a successful businessman I am a go-getter, who loves business, sales, information technology, profit, design, innovation and things that are enjoyable to use. I am as excited by smart marketing practices and clever sales tools as I am by the financial tool that allows the business to run in a more succinct fashion. I think that companies need to be more transparent and more open to their customer base, and the future will require it. Things I love I have been called a serial hobbyist. There is so much to be interested in, to learn about, and to pour ones creativity into. I spend time running with my dog, fiddling with technology, building things, tinkering with my motorbike, competing in sports and travelling. There are a million things I want to try, to do, to be better at. There is never enough time in the day, week, or year for everything, though I’m really trying. What I do For the past year, I have pursued a number of dreams, including getting a job on Wall Street (unfortunately just before the GFC), consulting to African companies on how best to run their business, and also dabbling in Internet based businesses along with starting an insulation business and starting my MBA. Whatever I am involved with, or designing or selling I try and take the same principles into each, that is think from your customers perspective, what would they want from you... and then exceed those expectations. My previous roles in a wide variety of companies have given me a great position to build on. From the small family owned company to the multi-national they have all given me experiences that allow me to be successful in other roles and with other products. I am good at business for one reason; I listen. I must admit that being a Director of an insulation company or consulting to African companies was never on the 'to-do' list, but the challenges it has provided and the lessons I have learned cannot have a value placed on them. But I always want more. Not necessarily stuff or money, but I want to learn more and get better. I want to keep the pressure up. I want to take on the toughest challenges. So whether it's creating new business opportunities in insulation, steel, or information technology, I know what it takes to be successful. I have always exceeded sales targets, budgetary goals and expectations and I want to do the same for you. I know what it means to work together to take on the toughest challenges and make something great. I think your company is that next challenge. Best Regards, Isaak Dury 0403839435
