   DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
   
   FEB 2002 - MAR 2009
   
   Ultra Clean Technology initially hired me to manage a key account team from
   sales and marketing, to field support and business strategy. This key account
   is today UCT's largest customer globally and has helped UCT become a
   multibillion-dollar company. Once this business moved into a sustaining focus
   I transitioned into a position focused on leading a New Business Development
   team growing UCT's industry focus with new customers in new regions of the
   world. This opportunity truly introduced me to the challenges and growth
   opportunities in manufacturing Semiconductor equipment in the United States.
   This was a very pivotal job in my professional career. I took what I learned
   and applied it to creating Dynamic Manufacturing Solutions and the leadership
   and culture focus I have today.

   industry. In this role, I sold and marketed front-end manufacturing,
   inspection, and support equipment to the Semiconductor, Thin Film Head, Tape
   Drive, and Disk Drive Industries in the Western USA and Europe. I had the
   opportunity to create and manage a sales office in MN and Southern CA and
   train an international network of sales representatives on new technology
   advancements in the Semiconductor Equipment Industry. I was given the
   opportunity to learn the Semiconductor manufacturing process from final
   inspection and backend packaging to the pulling of monocrystalline seed
   crystals out of melted silicon. Ultimately, I was taught the art of selling,
   the importance of manufacturing, and the value of hard work.

   PLAN TO USE DATA IN YOUR BUSINESS DECISIONS? ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS
   FIRST
   
   FORBES / COUNCILS · AUG 19, 2020
   
   WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING A BUSINESS MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT, BUSINESS
   DECISION-MAKERS ARE TURNING TO THE RAW MATERIAL OF BIG DATA AS THEIR YELLOW
   BRICK ROAD. HOWEVER, THE BENEFITS OF DATA ANALYTICS ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF
   WHAT DATA IS BEING MEASURED, THE PERSPECTIVE FROM WHICH THE DATA IS
   INTERPRETED, AND HOW IT IS BEING APPLIED TO YOUR BUSINESS.
   
   
   HOW TO HELP YOUR EMPLOYEES ADJUST TO CHANGE
   
   FORBES · JUL 27, 2020
   
   It is no secret that people are resistant to change. However, change is not
   always a bad thing; changes in the workplace are growing pains that can
   facilitate growth and adaptation. The question is how, exactly, can you help
   co-workers embrace change rather than resist it?
   
   
   GET RESPECT AT WORK: INFLUENCE WITHOUT MANIPULATING
   
   WORDPRESS · MAY 11, 2020
   
   It is tempting to resort to subtle manipulation to win influence at work.
   Manipulating co-workers, however subtle it may be, is a mistake. It is better
   to gain power in the workplace by proving your merit and building goodwill
   with fellow employees as time progresses. The challenge lies in figuring out
   how to win influence in the workplace without manipulating others. Otherwise,
   you run the risk of being perceived as a manipulator who turns the workplace
   from a civil environment into one that is toxic.
   
   ROBB MISSO, THE INNOVATIVE CEO OF DYNAMIC MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS, DISCUSSES
   HOW YOU CAN COMBAT PRESENTEEISM IN YOUR WORKPLACE
   
   ENSPIRE MANAGEMENT · MAR 2, 2019
   
   Presenteeism is the practice of turning up for work but doing the bare
   minimum necessary. It’s more prevalent in big companies than in small firms,
   but it can happen anywhere. It decreases productivity and competitiveness and
   leads to negative feelings among workers and complaints from customers. Robb
   Misso is the founder and CEO of Dynamic Manufacturing Solutions in Austin,
   TX. He has worked for 25 years to create manufacturing industry jobs in the
   United States, gaining a reputation as a compassionate and committed industry
   leader. Mr. Misso discusses how to combat presenteeism in your workplace.
   
   
   ROBB MISSO, DYNAMIC LEADER, AND CEO, SHARES 5 WAYS A SMALL BUSINESS CAN
   EXPAND THEIR LOCAL REACH
   
   WORTHVIEW · FEB 28, 2019
   
   Most small businesses will get their first customers in their local area.
   That makes sense – your distribution network is likely very limited. The
   problem is expanding your reach. You can’t just keep appealing to the same
   people over and over again. You need to find new customers if you want to
   grow beyond the word “small”. Here, Robb Misso, the founder, and CEO of
   Dynamic Manufacturing Solutions in Austin, TX, shares his advice on 5 ways a
   business can expand its local reach.
   
   
   ROBB MISSO, AWARD-WINNING CEO, DESCRIBES 7 GREAT TECHNIQUES SMALL BUSINESS
   OWNERS USE TO HIRE TOP TALENT
   
   ODYSSEY · FEB 26, 2019
   
   HIRING GREAT EMPLOYEES IS A DIFFICULT TASK, BUT HIRING THEM FOR A SMALL
   BUSINESS OR STARTUP IS FAR MORE DIFFICULT. NOT ONLY IS YOUR BUDGET MORE
   LIMITED, BUT YOU'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR A MORE SPECIFIC KIND OF PERSON. WORKING
   IN A SMALL BUSINESS IS INHERENTLY MORE DIFFICULT DUE TO THE FLATTER STRUCTURE
   AND GREATER RESPONSIBILITIES, SO NOT ONLY DO YOU NEED SOMEONE SKILLED, YOU
   NEED PEOPLE WHO CAN THRIVE UNDER PRESSURE. BY FOCUSING ON THESE SEVEN
   TECHNIQUES DETAILED BY ROBB MISSO, THE CEO OF DMS AND A JOHN C MAXWELL
   EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEMBER, YOU CAN FIND THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO HIRE FOR YOUR
   COMPANY.
   
   
   WAYS TO HIRE FOR CULTURAL FIT
   
   PATCH.COM · NOV 29, 2018
   
   A company's cultural fit is something that should be rooted in its very own
   startup team and expand with every new hire. A company's culture can be
   somewhat hard to define, but it is, nonetheless, a significant thing for
   employers and hiring managers to keep in mind when building their company.
   When a company achieves a cultural fit with its employees, the company will
   have a much better time working towards its broader goals and establishing
   its image and brand name the way that it wants to be built. Additionally,
   employees will be much happier and more productive when working for a company
   that fits their work style and personality. For this reason, cultural fit
   should be a top priority for any company to look for when hiring new
   employees. Robb Misso, the innovative manager, and CEO, shares a few ways
   that companies can look for cultural fit:
