Exertis UK
Product Manager
July 2005 – July 2011
My role here at Exertis UK was product manager for Print & Peripherals. I owned OKI in this category & grew them from a very underperforming brand to number three from six. OKI were only outsold by Samsung and Brother at Exertis UK. I successfully added the OKI portfolio of products onto all major etail and retail customer sites in the UK and was able to command a healthy 8% profit margin across the business. In the years I looked after OKI, I grew it to be a strong, profit rich brand that challenged top manufactures, whilst still sell on value.
