Robin Menefee
Pricing Director, AMERICAN SYSTEMS
A pricing and contracts professional with over 30 years of experience, Robin Menefee’s biggest recent achievement was joining AMERICAN SYSTEMS as an employee-owner and taking over from a long-time and successful pricing director who retired.
She selected AMERICAN SYSTEMS from multiple offers for several reasons ⏤ primarily, the company culture fostered from 100% employee-ownership and its focus on quality and collaboration. Menefee immediately felt a part of the company and was impressed with its talent and offerings.
“In her relatively short time with AMERICAN SYSTEMS, Robin has embraced our culture and the principles of our pricing process, while at the same time bringing new perspectives and fresh ideas to bear,” said Peter Whitfield, AMERICAN SYSTEMS chief financial officer. “I look forward to her leadership as we grow our pricing prowess.”
