Max Carey
When a business gets caught in the dangerous cross fire of a struggling economy and commodity-based products and services, traditional sales and marketing efforts will always fall painfully short of the challenges ahead. Max Carey gives his audience an action plan, new rules of engagement, for fighting back and creating a more stable corporate future.
Throughout his life, Max has thrived on meeting challenges head-on. At Columbia University, he was an Ivy League and NCAA record-setting defensive back. After graduation, he became a Naval aviator, and was one of the elite few fighter pilots to achieve Top Gun certification.
