Dear Kerri Clower:

Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the Area Operations Manager role at Ricoh. With my
Organizational Leadership degree and more than 10 years of experience in the operations management
industry, I offer a unique combination of knowledge, drive, and skills to help Ricoh achieve its business
goals.

In my previous position as Site Operations Manager, I was responsible for overseeing 20+ employees
and over $80k in revenue per month in field support and site operations for the Legal, Healthcare, and
Education industries. I was successful in analyzing operational needs for customers, developing new
innovative ways to increase productivity, stabilizing the bottom line to ensure profitable GP and
communicating standards and policies to cross-functional teams.

As a seasoned Operations Manager, I understand the importance of optimizing business processes

without sacrificing personal connections with employees. I thrive on encouraging employee
performance and was recognized by senior leadership for my ability to mentor future leaders of the
organization and establish processes while maintaining a positive and motivating work culture.

Lastly, I am committed to the highest standards of professionalism in the industry, and I aim to ensure
that those standards and values are passed through every aspect of your operational structure. I am
eager to speak with you and discuss my possible contributions and value to your organization. Please
contact me at (480) 480-4804 or cahinkle@asu.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Chris Hinkle
