Background

About Derek Dennis

I have begun a new chapter in my career that is completely different than the coatings space where I resided for 20 years, I am currently finishing my fourth year as Demand Planner for the Controls and Fertilizer space within CG & P. I am proficient in Tableau, Logility Alloy and SAP. I currently service the Amazon, Walmart and Hydro accounts which totals close to $30 million dollars in revenue per year. Previous to this position, I spent 20 years in the chemical industry, I have served as a technical service manager, head of marketing, production lead, and sales person. Within these roles I have had many successes: Technical Service Manager - As head of Cytec Technical Service and Development Group for polyester resins, our team secured $2 million dollars in new business by giving presentations and delivering innovations talks to customers. This new business was 16% of the total sales for the Americas in 2012. Marketing - I won the Marketing Communication Award for authoring a new Polyester Resin Product Portfolio Binder. Production - As Chief Operating Officer of Matrix Powder Technology, our production output achieved a 100% First-Time-Right Rating on all powder produced throughout the 1.5 year life of the company. Sales - I led all Georgia-based sales people in sales of gas catalytic infrared oven sales in the three years that I was employed by Heraeus. I was also able to secure new business for two new companies (Vasto and Matrix). In my spare time, I also produce football related content for Blitzalytics. In the role of Betting and Analytics lead, I have been able to produce a calculation that has predicted 55.4% of all college football games against the spread in 2019 and 55.0% for all NFL games in 2020.
