Bio
Jennifer Skeeters
Stephen is a phenomenal account lead, consistently operating above and beyond his job responsibilities through his deep creative and strategic engagement with every project he touches. His willingness to truly own his accounts made him an excellent partner to our clients at all levels, from the day to day managers to executive stakeholders. His creativity and strategic thinking made him a highly valued internal partner as well, and members of both the creative and strategy teams repeatedly inquired about Stephen's interest in their own disciplines. Fortunately for me, Stephen chose to stay in account services. Stephen's support of the IBM account during my time at Leopard was invaluable and made a significant impact on the success of the account, and I would strongly recommend Stephen to any account services team.

Stephen is a very impressive Project Manager. His overall knowledge is vast and impressive and even more so when it comes to online projects. I honestly don't know what we would do without him. His ability to meet challenges head-on and in stride has always astounded me. He is always willing to step in and find the answers and always has a positive attitude and is a pleasure to work with. He is very thorough and hard working and her always exhibits a "can-do" attitude, meeting every challenge enthusiasm and eagerness. I highly recommend him both for hit persona and for his work ethic.
