I have so many great things to say about Steve. He is a terrific leader and people manager who focuses on bigger business priorities, while very easily navigating the details of data and processes. In addition, he insightfully identifies key opportunities for business improvement and growth. In every initiative and project we've worked on, I've been truly impressed by his creativity, cross-functional leadership, and bias toward action. Given his breadth of experience and excellent business fundamentals, I strongly recommend Steve for any leadership role.
