Meet Our Executive Team

Dean Murdoch, Vice President
Dean began his career in the medical sales profession. Ten years in the profession led to promotions for two different Fortune 500 companies specializing in key account development and new product launches. He left the medical field to start a manufacturer's representative agency in the Detroit area, supplying products to the automotive manufacturers. This company also led to the formation of Sales Marketing Group (SMG) in 1983 to promote and market products to the automotive industries. Dean developed a logo program for QS-9000 (automotive quality standard) and became the exclusive global distributor during its ten-year existence. Sales Marketing Group made a strategic decision to diversify from mostly automotive to the medical and health industries. SMG now enjoys a diverse account base and a strong financial position in these growing industries.

When not at work, Dean enjoys skiing in the winter months and bicycling and fishing during the rest of the year.
