Ralph Mroz
Since 1978, Ralph Mroz has managed or implemented nearly every step of the marketing process. His experience spans
hands-on tactics to corporate strategic planning, with large corporations, small companies, and start-ups.

He helps clients fully integrate marketing and product development processes, enabling them to successfully enter a new market with a new or existing product set.
This market-entry expertise has benefited large corporations such as HP's power supply division and Digital Equipment's component and CAD divisions.
As one of the original members of Encore Computer during its start-up, Ralph drafted the market entry plan for an
entirely new class of computer. He was also a founder of The Kensington Group, which is the industry standard source for comparative benchmark data on the public relations specialty of Analyst Relations.
Since 1998, he has consulted to companies on competitive positioning and marketing process development. Ralph is a noted
proponent of the concept of converting marketing functions to a hierarchical process that is stable and repeatable, and
integrates seamlessly with Product Development and Sales. His article, "The Synchronous Marketing Process" (May, 1998,
Industrial Marketing Management) is the first to describe in detail an over-arching, consistent and measurable marketing
process. This concept, which is discussed in the book is also a key element of the Customer Manufacturing Group's System to Manufacture Customers®.
