About Ron Tuchin – President

Personal
Ron was born in Gloversville, a very small Adirondack town in upstate New York, in 1960. At the age of five, his family relocated to San Juan, Puerto Rico to pursue a business opportunity, where Ron remained until graduating high school in 1978. After 13 years of living in a culturally diverse, bilingual society, Ron decided to move back to the states to attend Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Ron married Tracy, his college sweetheart, in 1985. They live in Pittsburgh’s East End and have a teenage daughter, Hannah, and a teenage son, Sam.

In his free time, Ron enjoys playing guitar, photography, travel and spending time with family and friends.

Professional
Ron has been involved in inside sales, outside sales, sales management, marketing and operations for over 20 years. Several years after graduating from Duquesne University, he joined and managed the family business in the sewing industry for close to 10 years. His bilingual abilities allowed him to help expand sales and negotiate contracts with multi-national and Fortune 500 firms throughout the US, the Caribbean and Latin America.

Since then he has held several sales and management positions within various industries including telecommunications, internet technology, engineering, software, medical supply, internet security, as well as marketing within the insurance and financial arenas.

Ron realized that, within the business community, a strong, fundamental need exists to meet with new prospects and decision makers in order to develop and manage new sales opportunities. He also realized that many businesses fail to realize that identifying and developing new business opportunities requires a distinct set of skills different from that of closing new business opportunities. Each skill must complement the other, but must be kept separate.

Ron had an epiphany or sorts, and decided to embark on a journey of creating a new solution to an existing problem - present a necessary link between Marketing and Sales. As a result, The Tuchin Group was formed in order to provide these services to the business community.
