5. Guy Peters Team Leadership I was put in charge of a high-performance, new product development team to solve a critical go/ no go decision. I led this team to resolution: Finance Graphic design Logistics Microbial Technology Operations Communications Consumer Food Center Customer Marketing Engineering External Manufacturing Packaging Purchasing R & D Research Sales Easy Omelets - a breakfast product made of microwaved Egg Beaters and cheese in a cup. Challenge: Prior to me joining the group, the brand team had launched Easy Omelets in test markets to poor performance. Uncertainty surrounded the message, pricing, flavor mix, design, manufacturing, human factors, and appropriate support dollars. Action:We took Easy omelets out of test market and conducted quantitative and qualitative research to determine viability and likely outcome of a national launch. In case of a “go” decision, the team also focused on partner negotiations, ingredients, package design, distribution, manufacturing, pricing, and marketing mix. Result: Through research, we determined that consumers were not likely to buy this product based on specific criteria. Post-trial research was favorable but pre-trial results were not acceptable. I discontinued the project and saved the company $8.5M in launch expenses. “Although it has been taken off the market for revamping, Nabisco Easy Omelets may be ushering in a new era of microwaveable foods. - New Product News

6. Guy Peters Creative Marketing With Little Money Challenge: The company was struggling financially due to a leveraged MBO prior to me arriving. We needed a new product that would generate far more revenue than past new product introductions. Action: I developed a unique new product concept and I determined that, with only $100,000 in launch support, we could sell more new product than we usually did with $2M in new product launch support. I conducted test market research to prove the concept and deployed an “allocation” launch plan to increase demand at introduction. Winner: Pro Golf’s 2002 Product of the Year Award “The Noodle might never have been seen by consumers if it weren’t for Guy Peters, who championed the idea at Maxfli. Peters, now Director of Marketing for both TaylorMade and Maxfli, never wavered in his crusade to introduce the Noodle.” -Golfweek Magazine Result: Grew revenue from $0 to $20M in the first year.

30. Guy Peters References Edward Hughes (previous boss) CEO, Aculon “Guy is one of the most creative and energetic marketers I have met. He is not afraid to explore the path less trodden in search of new insights. This creativity when combined with an "always on” mentality make him a powerful marketer.” Jon Dupuis (supplier) Group Account Director, Cossette Communications “Guy is one of those rare individuals who can dissect a business issue from all angles and then build a strategically-sound, customer-centric, plan to achieve the set business goals. All while making you laugh.” Roger Beasley (supplier) VP, Director of Strategic Planning, Erwin-Penland Advertising “Guy was my Client at Maxfli Golf and Radar Corp. And I'll have to say, one of the best Clients I've worked with over my 20 years in the Ad business. Not only is Guy one of the smartest strategic thinkers I've been around, he also understands how to bring people together, making staff, Agency partners and other resource providers feel like one big team working toward a common goal. Also, while effective as a strategist and a leader, Guy never loses site of the details that go into making great ideas a reality, and ensures that no stone is left unturned in translating strategic vision into reality. I truly look forward to the day that we may work together again.”

31. Guy Peters References Jim Doty (previous boss) VP of Marketing, Pacific Pulmonary Services “Guy joined our organization in March, 2008, and immediately raised the level of our marketing department. He quickly grasped our business model, conducted market research, developed messaging, created sales collateral, and personally spent time in the field training our sales team. This effort helped more than double the revenue in his Business Unit during his tenure. Unfortunately, a dramatic reduction in the reimbursement revenue we receive from Medicare, our largest revenue source, has forced us to downsize and Guy’s Director of Marketing position has been eliminated.” Shannon Sullivan (direct report) Marketing Manager, Sony “Guy was great to work for – extremely creative, driven, results-oriented and high energy. He taught me a lot about how to always push for more, approach hurdles with solutions and maintain a positive attitude.” Craig Gunckel (supplier) EVP and General Manager, RockTenn Company “Guy is one of the most creative and innovative people I have ever met. He has a passion for both life and the products he represents. It is a passion that is rarely exhibited and is very refreshing.” Chris Savarese (previous boss) Founder and CEO, Radar Corporation “Guy is an excellent marketing professional! His experience working for large organizations as well as smaller technology start-ups gives him a broad range of marketing and sales skills. Guy is a natural leader. He is very creative and not afraid to take risks with his strategic and tactical approaches. It is a pleasure working with Guy.”
