I love being an entrepreneur. Taking the opportunity I was given in 1993, I started my own company as a one-man show and led it into an experienced sales organization that operates globally. PBS Sales serves clients who want to expand in either their home market or worldwide. Identifying opportunities, mastering challenges and achieving new growth for my clients is what drives me.
