includes a 10-year stint with XYZ Corporation.   XYZ is one of our nation’s largest environmentally conscious, independent power producers.  
My professional tenure has provided me with years of comprehensive business experience working and negotiating with senior-level management and key personnel at many of the Fortune 500 companies.   Including companies like;   Boeing, Kimberly-Clark, Johnson & Johnson, and Calpine, to mention only a few.
