Professional Achievements
He brings over 20 years of sales experience across commercial trucking, construction equipment, and industrial manufacturing. He began at a construction equipment distributor, where he drove a 15% revenue increase and closed the largest flagship machine sale in that product line's history. He then moved into industrial manufacturing, reintroducing a global printing press brand to a market it had exited seven years prior and leading $20 million in new machinery sales. A shift into luxury automotive followed, where he averaged 12 units and $800,000 in monthly revenue, ranking in the top three of his sales team. That momentum carried into his most recent decade, where he ranked among the top four sales performers at a commercial truck dealer and earned President's Club and Diamond Level honors nine years running.
Core Competencies
Deep expertise in heavy-duty truck and construction equipment sales, including excavators, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders, and attachments, alongside Class 8 trucks, trailers, and truck bodies. Skilled in territory management, account management, consultative selling, CRM systems, and parts sales, with an engineering background that supports technical, solutions-based conversations with clients.
Personal Attributes
Colleagues describe him as analytical, persistent, thorough, and reliable, with an outside-of-the-box approach to problem-solving. He works independently and methodically, staying calm under pressure and focused on results. He enjoys mentoring and developing junior team members. He holds master's degrees in mechanical engineering and international business, and is multilingual, fluent in English and Serbo-Croatian.
Personal Preferences
He is targeting territory sales manager, account manager, or individual-contributor sales roles within commercial trucking or construction equipment. He welcomes commission-heavy, ideally uncapped compensation targeting $250,000 or more in total pay. He can travel up to 50%. He prefers to remain in the New York metro area given family commitments, though he would consider relocating to a large, warmer-climate metro area for the right opportunity.
