At 31, after eight years on the run in Europe and North Africa as an escaped federal felon, Ian Jarvis decided to return to the US and face the mess he left behind. He wanted to beat a seven-year prison sentence and find a way back on the rails of the American dream. At 32, Ian.talked his way into his first job as a salesperson for French multinational, Saint Gobain. Hired to open a new market in America for SG's fragrance bottles, Ian was so successful that eighteen months later, he was named VP of the entire US division. His career took off, culminating in the sale, two decades later, of his own company - CMI, manufacturing plastic packaging for Fragrance / cosmetics - to another multinational, Pechiney. There were multiple offers to re-create that level of success for other firms in the industry, but he turned them down and embarked on a new career, consulting to executives in businesses large and small, about their leadership skills, language and culture. Ian's memoir, The Escape Artist, is set for publication this summer. |
