Chamas Plummer
It is a distinct pleasure to recommend Steven, my esteemed business associate. In my capacity at AutoTrader.com I have worked closely with Steven for the past couple of years. Steven has managed the projects assigned to him and his work has been a major factor in our company's continued success. He has proven consistently that customer need and company profit are not mutually exclusive. Steven has always understood the old axiom that we rise or fall together and has made teamwork with others job number one for his department. He has shown us all how to get beyond the blame game and make real connections in the work place. I would without any reservation recommend Steven to you. He would be a tremendous asset in any company.

He leads with vision, clear communication and with confidence. Steven was quick to recognize issues and individual problems and was effective in addressing them quickly. I would gladly work with Steven again.
