SJ Chamber of Commerce
Have recently retired from SaraLee as Director of Continuous Improvement and applaud the activity around trying to attract new business and retain the current businesses. I read Jeff Rea’s column this morning on family private businesses. I think this is the wave of the future as our economy cycles back and forth. We have to do more to make our business base as efficient and profitable as we can. This is what I do…
I am interested in helping out the effort to improve our ability to make the business base in SJC the best not just competitive.
Let me know how I can help out,
PS- I am not trying to make money or sell my talent as a consultant
