High Impact, Fortune 500-Trained Executive Leader

A highly experienced leader, with a track record of generating results through leadership, talent management and culture development. Trevor thrives on the challenge of successfully turning around, building and creating enormous growth opportunities.

After completing his degree in Accounting, he was recruited to Procter & Gamble, where he became their top sales representative in less than two years. He spent 12 years of rapid and successive promotions in both Sales & Marketing at P&G and Novartis in the US and Canada.

His career highlights success in turning around brands, from both Sales and Marketing leadership positions, including:

  • His first major success as a marketing leader (aside from the various internal awards he earned) was taking a stalled brand and quadrupling the daily sales rate within 9 months, taking #1 market share position within 18 months.
  • As Executive Director of Sales, he took a $200mm double-digit declining business and turned it into profitable double-digit growth within 24 months, leading a team of 119 people in an organization that he conceptualized, designed, deployed, and led to business leadership.
  • Recruited as VP of Sales and Marketing, COO and promoted to CEO of another company he continued to provide leadership across the spectrum of disciplines to develop teams, sales, partnerships, new products, technology and market strategies.
  • Then, combining all of his experiences in Sales, Marketing, and Executive Leadership as CEO dealing with the Venture Capital world, he started Smarter Recruiting. After two short years, the firm has already established itself as a premiere search firm.
