I had the pleasure of working alongside Steve for a year on the successful launch of four major products. Thanks to his partnership and leadership, we were able to achieve our goals within our ambitious deadline while maintaining exceptional quality. Steve is a valuable team player, and as our team's architect, he was deeply involved in all aspects of the process - from initial concept to vendor selection, implementation, testing, and release. Steve excels at simplifying complex issues by breaking them down into manageable steps. He is dedicated to fully understanding customer needs and weighing potential solutions, and holds himself and his team to a high level of excellence. I cannot recommend Steve enough for his outstanding contributions, professionalism, and work ethic. I hope I’ll have the chance to work with Steve again.

I have the privilege of working alongside Steve at IBM as a Global Practice Leader. Steve is impacting 1,200+ CSMs in the deployment of RedHat OpenShift and IBM Cloud Paks. Steve's deep security knowledge and ability to clearly communicate technical concepts make him invaluable.
