About Barry Goodwin

Experienced, results-driven Project Manager with broad marketing background. Problem solver with outstanding interpersonal skills to collaborate cross-functionally and with stakeholders at all levels. Technological aptitude with a knack for implementing operational efficiencies. Adept at managing multiple projects and priorities simultaneously. History: I am veteran of the United States Air Force. During my service, I spent my time learning the intricate details of 4 ground radar systems and how to operate, analyze and troubleshoot all the intricate details of these fascinating tools. After serving, I returned to Arkansas to begin my career after the military. I was presented with the opportunity to work for Walmart Stores, Inc, in their Logistics division managing Customs interactions. After a few years at Walmart, I chose to then pursue the vendor side of the business. And, so began my 10 year career with Ivie & Associates, Inc, now Quad Graphics. In 2008, I began as a associate at Ivie learning all the details of the marketing world and was placed inside the marketing division of Walmart due to my knowledge of the Walmart culture. From that point on, I have partnered with Marketing Managers. During my time at Quad/Ivie, I have been exposed to the many aspects of the marketing lifestyle including the instore signage department which has exposed me to many facets of the print world. I'm now a Project Manager working in the Walmart Private Brands department, and I am responsible for client and supplier relationships as well as the everyday processes of managing packaging from concept to shelf. I'm excited to see what lies in store!
