Guy Wilcock
I have had the pleasure of working with Stephen on multiple business opportunities at IRONSCALES, he is a true professional, extremely knowledgeable and extraordinarily supportive. A man who goes further than "just the extra mile", exploring all options and solutions in order to find the best possible outcome for both the customer and the business. I would definitely recommend Stephen for any position in the future as I would be confident that he would excel and make a significant contribution anywhere he goes. I hope our paths cross again in the future as to have Stephen on your team is a winning recipe for success!

I had the pleasure of working with Steve as an Information Security Professional at our organization. He consistently demonstrated a strong understanding of security best practices and a commitment to ensuring the protection of our company's data. Steve was an integral part of our security team and played a key role in implementing and maintaining security protocols. His attention to detail and ability to identify potential vulnerabilities were invaluable in helping us maintain a secure environment. In addition to his technical skills, Steve was a great team player and always willing to go above and beyond to support the team. He was a valuable asset to our organization, and I highly recommend him for any information security position.
