Bio
Carolyn LaRue
Steven is one of the most exceptional people I have had the pleasure of working with throughout my time as a recruiter. Recruiting is not always a straightforward process, but working with someone like Steven makes the process absolutely seamless. His talent, capability, and personality make him the best fit for anyone that would benefit from his skill set, and I can put him forward for projects with confidence, knowing he will get to know exactly what my client is looking for and ensure their needs are met. He has worked on multiple projects with a few of my clients, and I have received nothing but excellent feedback from them, as they continuously ask to extend the length of his project work. Steven is proactive and efficient, and I love to hear that he is making my clients’ lives easier by being such a strong asset to their teams. I would recommend Steven to any clients looking for Marketing Cloud expertise.

Steven has been an enormously valuable resource for CBRE marketing as an engineer that could flexibly understand client need, requirements and the limits of our technology stack to find viable solutions for our internal clients. He has proven to be a quick study to new technologies while researching solutions in the areas of web analytics, CRM, web leads and general API integration to enable dozens of integrations and use cases over the course of our time working together. The degree of trust I had for his ability to get things done, think through edge cases and report back successes and failures made him deeply valuable to delivering against our Marketing Activation efforts. Steven is one that is both technical and customer service oriented. He has an excellent sense for how to push end users to identify requirements and build programs while having a strong command of the technologies we have to create great outcomes. As such, he has been invaluable in creating CBRE's most advanced Martech programs. His departure from CBRE is a loss for the company but I expect Steven to excel in wherever he wishes to move in his career. I have found him to be of that rare breed that has technical prowess and customer service that will enable him to move far. I'd be super happy to work with Steven in the future and think that any company working with him will have a true asset in their ranks.

Steven is phenomenal. He is a fast learner, very coachable and has a positive "can do" attitude. He was instrumental in completing a very large migration project and because of his efforts, we were able to complete the project ahead of schedule and under budget. He has a versatile skillset and in addition to writing code he performed well in the role of business analyst.
