Gib Armstrong

20+ years of director and executive-level experience leading and empowering teams, building programs and delivering value. The US Naval Academy gave me a great education and strong technical background. The Marine Corps taught me persistence, attention to detail and discipline. As a former elected official I developed a strong network of contacts and learned to compromise with people having very diverse backgrounds and perspectives while sticking to core principles. Additionally, I know from experience how to build a small start-up energy company into a one big enough to get acquired by a Fortune 200 company. CORE COMPETENCIES: Business and Market Development Innovation and Entrepreneurship Client Relationship Management Building and Leading Teams (to include Marines in combat) Critical Thinking and Strategic Planning Managing P&L (for budgets up to $60 million) Creative Problem Solving Judgment and Expeditious Decision Making Writing, Editing, Sales and Marketing, Public Speaking Process Development and Improvement Recruitment and Assimilation
