Colleagues describe him as "Steve is a transformational President/Business Unit Leader who understands the importance of aligning marketing, sales, product, customer success, and operations to drive and accelerate growth. I had the privilege of working for Steve as SVP of Marketing for the Business Solutions Group at Bitdefender where the executive team, under Steve's leadership, drove significant year-over-year growth in pipeline and bookings while increasing retention rates, moving up-market, and expanding the portfolio from tools to managed services. Steve not only gets but embraces the value of buyer-centric marketing and selling anchored by differentiating products and services. He challenges his leaders, gives them the room they need to drive their functions but is also highly-collaborative and willing to roll up his sleeves when needed. I would wholeheartedly recommend Steve for CEO/President roles and would gladly work for Steve again." and "I’ve had the opportunity to witness Steve’s success in the hyper-competitive cybersecurity market in several different capacities over the past 16 years—first when he was leading product management at Websense (now Forcepoint), then when he was head of marketing and global sales at Trustwave, and most recently at Bitdefender where he was president and GM of the company’s business solutions group. In each setting Steve demonstrated his dedication and leadership capabilities. He has a gift for building trust and transparency within his teams and creating a positive workplace culture (with a great sense of humor). One of the things that I have always deeply respected about Steve is his commitment to the people he leads and his work ethic – he is engaged, collaborative, and always makes time to celebrate wins as a team. I would recommend Steve to any organization looking for an executive leader who can make a strategic difference quickly, who is a bridge-builder and one who has a deep knowledge of how to successfully run a global enterprise technology company."
