<description><![CDATA[Starting in 1983, Steve Vertun acted as Vice President Corporate Development for the industry's largest legacy computer electronics Business/Product line acquisition Management Company. Over the next eleven years, Steve was directly involved in more than thirty corporate entity, divisional or product line buyouts, spanning a diversity of computer and consumer electronics products from some of the largest OEM's in the marketplace (IBM, Xerox, Siemens, HP, Memorex, Western Digital, Kennedy Tape, Shugart, Control Data). Developing, implementing and executing unique strategies to help resolve the many common and unique issues facing OEM's regarding the management of their legacy manufacturing and product lines, reverse logistics supply chain and excess/ obsolete inventory issues resulted in a core competency education. In 1994, as market demand shifted towards at-risk inventory (excess, obsolete, customer returns) focus, Steve and his business partner Lyle spun out the Segue Group division and formalized Segue Corporation.
Steve has dedicated the last 25 years of his career establishing and delivering the most comprehensive solutions available to meet the ever evolving needs of OEM's regarding their reverse logistics and at-risk inventory management challenges. Focus is on activities essential to maximizing asset recoveries; mitigating sales channel conflict, reducing OEM costs and protecting corporate brand name and integrity. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot; Reverse logistics stands for all operations related to the reuse of products and materials. It is &quot;the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost effective flow of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of consumption to the point of origin for the purpose of recapturing value or proper disposal. More precisely, reverse logistics is the process of moving goods from their typical final destination for the purpose of capturing value, or proper disposal. Remanufacturing and refurbishing activities also may be included in the definition of reverse logistics. The reverse logistics process includes the management and the sale of surplus as well as returned equipment and machines from the hardware leasing business. Normally, logistics deal with events that bring the product towards the customer. In the case of reverse, the resource goes at least one step back in the supply chain. For instance, goods move from the customer to the distributor or to the manufacturer.&quot; - Wikipedia]]></description>
