Bio
Philip Ribeiro
We meet many people every day, but only some leave the marks, and one of them is Steve. Steve expertly filled the Quality Manager role during the time I led the Light Vehicle Business in EMEA. The team valued Steve's ability very much to switch between company internal and customer supporting external Quality work. Ensuring that processes are followed, quality topics being solved, performance improved and at the same time being extremely competent in front of the customer.

New to my position in Axalta Coating Systems, Steve has always been a great support to understand company structure and has been my direct contact regarding quality issues and reporting. I have rarely seen such a dedicated person and wished I could still work with him.
