Highlights

Summary

Initially Steven Crane gained a critical base knowledge of the manufacturing and business world by single handedly creating a viable manufacturing operation in one of the world class forklift manufacturers of North America (Nissan Forklift Corporation). Specializing in Laser technologies, metal forming and welding. After more than a decade and aclaimed recognition as "Employee of the Year" Steven chose to follow a path in the related technology field with a support/sales focus. Acting as the liason for European and North American manufacturing of metal fabriating equipment Steven successfully increased market share for another worl class company (Strippit/LVD). Moving on to another related industry, Steven spent 2.5 years developing a new market for the worlds largest manufacturer of industrial gasses on the West Coast of the United States. Steven successfully introduced the Bi-focal laser optical system to the market place and aided in expanding market share to a previously untapped market segment. Finally Steven is now a very successful real estate sales professional in the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Paradise Valley region of Arizona, USA.

“Steven worked with me when I was in the Procurement and Production Department at Nissan Forklift for a few years. During Steven's service at Nissan I interacted frequently with him and depended on him. Very goal oriented, Steven was always easygoing. He was keenly devoted to his work, but being a real people person, he was also enjoyable to be around.
Steven always demonstrated that he understood what business is all about. He was well organized. He kept a sharp eye on the bottom line, but realized too that customer satisfaction is what makes or breaks your business. I suppose doing well in business is easy if you are, as he was, driven in equal measure by both quality and efficiency.
