Background

About Dennis Shoemaker

I have more than 25 years of leadership experience building and guiding a variety of companies. As an accomplished corporate strategist and marketer, I have the vision and expertise in business performance to drive enterprising growth in retail and business to business sectors. Offering a rare blend of innovative and operational strengths, I have achieved exciting company and product turnarounds and have been recognized for my successes in growing sales and profits. My strategic approach to building a business is reflected in my work as CEO of Bob’s Homes, Inc, where my concept creation and focus on product-line mix quickly delivered impressive bottom-line results. My turnaround capability is highlighted by my accomplishments as CEO of Steen Macek Paper Company, where I led a stagnant company to record sales and profitability through major shifts in brand strategy, operations, product design, packaging, marketing communications, and merchandising. I also had significant impact on profitability and growth at Mead Fine Paper and Sears where I held various management positions. My exceptional track record of business improvement is based on my philosophy of total enterprise engagement in change. I am known for my ability to quickly identify and diagnose sales and growth impediments that go far beyond marketing, working with companies to refine their organizational structure, product lines, sourcing, sales channels, market position, building relationships, as well as point-of-sale and general advertising.
