Alan Sedar is a seasoned business director with over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing, currently serving as President of Advantek Specialties. In this pivotal role, Alan has full P&L responsibility, demonstrating his adeptness in financial stewardship and strategic growth. His leadership has been instrumental in achieving a remarkable $1.5 million backlog within just 12 months of the company's start-up, showcasing his ability to drive immediate results in a competitive landscape.
One of Alan's key accomplishments includes exceeding a $21 million sales target as the Eastern Regional Sales Manager, where he effectively managed a team of 10 direct sales reports. His expertise in dealer network development has been crucial in establishing new manufacturer-dealer relationships, particularly in light of significant market consolidation that led to the closure of three key material suppliers. This proactive approach has not only fortified Advantek's market position but also ensured a steady flow of sales opportunities.
Currently, Alan is spearheading two major contracts in New Jersey, focusing on innovative visual display solutions that align with the evolving needs of the industry. His skills in project management, social media marketing, and new business development are pivotal in navigating the complexities of these projects, ensuring that Advantek remains at the forefront of industry trends. With certifications in personnel management and a solid foundation in financial regulations (having previously held Series 7/63/24 licenses), Alan brings a comprehensive skill set that empowers his team and drives the company's vision forward. His results-oriented approach and strategic insights continue to position Advantek Specialties as a leader in the market.
