MAKING CONNECTIONS
Tom Bamrick, VP, National Partners Sales, D&H Distributing
Through a thirty-year sales career, Tom has left his imprint on companies like Ingram Micro, IIMAK and D & H, where he’s currently the VP of Sales for two national business units.
A Buffalo native, Tom has contributed to The Wehle School as a member of Dean O’Rourke’s Business Advisory Council and leading career discussions in the Breakfast Club Program. In January, he’ll be joining the Master’s Leadership & Professional Development Program as an employer panelist and coach.
One of Tom’s proudest accomplishments has been his work with Dr. David Sheets on what ultimately became Wehle’s Master of Business Analytics Program.
“I really enjoyed the discussions of how to bridge analytics with business and business decision-making. Any sector, company or operation can turn data into huge P&L, cost and productivity gains.”
“There’s nothing worse than being data rich but information poor.”
As for the future, Tom challenges us to ask, “How do we grow our brand beyond WNY? There needs to more of a national, international awareness about us. Let’s think big and act big”.
As for the challenges that lie ahead, Tom shares, “In my experience, I’ve learned servant leadership can move mountains.”
