Steve Smith is top notch in my book. I have had the pleasure of working with Steve when he was the Director of Business Development at VMIX Media and The Port Network. He is an amazing communicator, a forward thinker and his energetic attitude makes him an asset to any team. If you are looking for an outstanding employee, you have found one in Steve.
Greg Kostello
Steve was extremely effective at finding new revenue opportunities as our company pivoted to take advantage of new opportunities in the online space. Steve is very well connected and also fearless at finding new leads if that is required. Steve has a startup mentality which is great whether you are in a startup or simply want a person on your team that is internally motivated. I would hire Steve again.
