Clay Boykin
Business Development Services
I believe that customer/supplier compatibility in terms of business practices and company culture is key to success for all. Without this, relationships tend to be transactional, win-lose and short lived. As a business development professional, my role is to locate and help foster these long-lasting relationships between suppliers and customers.

Clay is one of those rare individuals who can be focused, pragmatic, and innovative at the same time. I know of only a handful of people capable of doing such a good job at both the business end and the human side of work. He is a natural leader who infuses his environment and those around him with integrity, drive, and tenacity.

“Helping Keep Texas Open For Business”
It was an honor to represent the Texas Association of Business recently and to meet Carlos M. Sada – Mexico Undersecretary for North American Affairs – Former Ambassador of Mexico in Wash D.C. – His talk on the importance of NAFTA was excellent.
Mexico views its relationship with the U.S. from six interrelated perspectives:
1. Trade
2. Immigration
3. Labor
4. Mobility
5. Environment
6. Security
In light of China joining the WTO 25+ years ago, NAFTA has strengthened North America’s position globally. The strength of NAFTA is as a result of a longstanding cooperative effort by the U.S., Mexico “and” Canada. The world has changed over the past 25+ years and there is room for updating/improving the NAFTA agreement.

Finding Your Voice and Learning to Lead
Back in 1990, as I was beginning to find my stride inside Motorola, we were faced with many large changes on a corporate-wide basis. These were not product changes, although there were plenty of those as well. These were changes that sought to speak to the essence of...
