With over 30 years of experience in global executive sales, marketing, and business development, I serve as your Business Growth & Superfans Strategist. My unique skill set and expertise, combined with my mentorship, can rapidly elevate your business, accelerating both profitable and sustainable success.
Born in France and raised in the United States, Frederick’s journey is a testament to resilience and determination. Overcoming language barriers and personal hardships, Frederick’s drive for excellence was evident from an early age. His creative prowess emerged during a middle school project, where he excelled in a film assignment that unveiled his talents. This creativity, combined with a newfound passion for drafting, propelled him to leave behind a challenging home environment and embark on a successful career in engineering.
Frederick’s engineering career took off in 1972, where his fascination with the engineering and manufacturing world led him to design pivotal innovations, including the spot-weld guns for the 1982 Ford Escort. As an Applications Engineer, he played a crucial role in the technological revolution of the 1980s by installing and training prominent companies like Eaton Corp, Westinghouse, and General Motors in Computer-Aided Design (CAD), earning multiple awards and industry recognition for his expertise and perseverance.
Transitioning into sales and marketing, Frederick leveraged his deep understanding of technology and exceptional people skills to achieve remarkable sales performances globally. His natural sales talent was honed through advanced courses from Wilson Learning and Holden Corporation, allowing him to build effective relationships and inspire teams both domestically and in over thirty countries.
An accomplished public speaker and graduate of the prestigious Dale Carnegie course, Frederick’s leadership and motivational prowess have inspired many. His journey of resilience and expertise culminated in the creation of CREATING BUSINESS SUPERFANS, a transformative book that encapsulates his wealth of knowledge in building lasting business relationships and driving growth. He is currently work on his next book.
Frederick’s ability to overcome adversity, coupled with his vast experience in engineering, sales, and leadership, positions him as a valuable asset to any organization seeking innovative solutions and impactful mentorship. His commitment to excellence and passion for inspiring others continue to drive his success and influence in the business world.
Recently, he managed an interpretation and translation company, and in less than two years, he not only made it profitable but also increased its annual revenue by approximately $1 million within just one year.
Achieved 1st Place in both Local and State Drafting Competitions, earning recognition for excellence.
During my first year in sales, I secured an order for a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that included a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) system valued at over $400,000.
Surpassed my assigned SaaS for CAD/CAM sales quota by more than 30%.
Achieved the highest SaaS CAD/CAM volume within the company.
I introduced a little-known CAM product called CAMWorks, which was compatible with SolidWorks. It showcased an early form of intelligence, leading me to coin the term "Machining Intelligence." I established a network of approximately 60 value-added resellers (VARs) worldwide. In just three years, I grew sales from zero to $3 million, with the highest-selling module priced at $10,000.
Following my success with CAMWorks, I attracted the attention of several SolidWorks SaaS partners who wanted me to market their products. This opportunity led me to establish my own company, where I secured exclusive distribution rights for the Americas, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and France.
After SolidWorks acquired several of the SaaS partners I was distributing, it effectively ended my business. Consequently, I joined a construction management SaaS company, where I played a key role in taking their product to market. During the company's debut at the International Construction Show, I contributed to their success by helping them secure a finalist award for construction SaaS. This recognition significantly boosted sales until the housing crash in 2008.
I became involved with a direct sales company, where I established a network for sub-agents. Subsequently, I launched a digital marketing agency focused on enhancing the online presence of small businesses. Additionally, I initiated a lunchtime business networking group, which I expanded to various cities and states.
I joined an interpretation and translation agency to help modernize its operations, reduce excessive turnover, implement efficient processes, revamp marketing strategies, and boost sales and profitability.

I released my first book, "Creating Business Superfans." This book explores how to transform employees, customers, and business partners into passionate brand advocates—whom I refer to as Superfans. These Superfans promote your business to everyone they know, driving growth and success at no cost.
As General Manager, I successfully increased the company's revenue by nearly $1 million, while achieving a profit margin of approximately 50% in the calendar year 2023. This accomplishment strategically positioned the company for potential acquisition.

Focused on interviewing successful entrepreneurs and SaaS disrupters to inspire small to mid-sized business owners to accelerate profitable and sustainable success.
The company was successfully acquired, and I oversaw the transition to the new owners.
Transitioning to work with Entrepreneurs to help them scaled their business cost-effectively, smartly, and positioning them for accelerated growth and sustainable success.
Working on a next level book, while still maintaining the Business Superfans theme.
