As an investment banker, Ron successfully has closed several significant transactions. He has earned numerous awards for his sales and marketing accomplishments, and he relates well to the challenges of running a privately held company. Ron has an appreciation for what it takes to meet Friday’s payroll and next month’s bank payment.
