Lorne Pike’s Summary

Marketing strategist and sales professional, with emphasis on opening markets for companies moving into the United States and/or Canada.

I have been privileged to build an extensive network of market contacts throughout the United States and Canada covering the technology, customer service, modeling/simulation, and defense industries, with many contacts also in healthcare, media, and social marketing.

I have developed and implemented successful sales and marketing strategies and programs, helping companies serve B2B markets that ranged from start-ups to multibillion-dollar international conglomerates.

Lorne Pike’s Specialties:

I have 20 years of marketing experience, with particular expertise in technology products and services. My goal is to represent my clients in new markets by building trust and long-term relationships, that in turn yield repeat business, growing networks, and lifelong clients.
