Colleagues describe him as "Steve is the true definition of a team player and a leader! His ability to tie many disparate and complex parts together strategically is unmatched. He excels at building strategy, leading global teams, and getting results. Steve's well-roundedness in so many disciplines is remarkable, and his bonus is being a super nice guy, a pleasure to work with, and a great teacher. I learned so much about sales, enablement, and how to get in the mind of sales and what they need and want from him. It was an absolute pleasure working with Steve, hope to again!!" and "I have worked alongside Steven in several roles and capacities together at Cisco, and the consistency of his strengths and value resonate across any engagement I’ve ever had with him. Our initial sales supporting efforts were aligned to the development and providing of strategic and tactical selling enablement disciplines for the global Cisco services sales field. Steven proved himself to be a valuable “voice of the field” as it related to enablement needs and would help our extended team direct, position and validate the selling value of our enablement efforts. Most recently, as a member of the CX Services product management team, Steven led a team that was front-and-center for the two largest and most strategic premium services offers in our portfolio. He and his team stayed close to global stakeholders including new offer selling, go-to-market, seller enablement teams, and more. Their value in uncovering and defining seller obstacles and then aligning them to what was potentially needed new, or differently, or in addition to, by offer product management, was critical to continue driving sales and annual recurring revenue with the continued development of our offers. Steven was keystone to connecting the perceived value of our offers to what truly resonated with our teams and customers – and then taking that knowledge back into product management for review and response. Beyond all of this, Steven has always been a great person to work with, and his simple messaging and personal touch was appreciated by anybody that had a chance to work with him."
