Colleagues describe him as "I appreciate Steve's cross-organizational leadership. During our time together at United Technologies, Steve engaged teams like mine who were just embarking on their data analytics journey. Having access to Steve and members of his team provided a tremendous boost in our ability to deliver value-added solutions. Steve also evaluated numerous options to provide formal training to our employees, and identified two preferred programs. He ensured these programs were included in our Employee Scholar Program. Steve's thought leadership helped launch the practice and profession of data science inside the company." and "Steve possess that invaluably and rare combination of deep technical talent, ability to quickly learn and contribute in new areas, skilled people management, and creative strategic thinking. I have had the pleasure of knowing Steve since his earliest days at IBM. When I started creating the research, development and product teams at Bridgewater to build the data and analytics platform and key products for Ray Dalio’s principled approach to systematized management, I needed someone with a combination of experience at all levels in the technology stack, a deep understanding of analytics, and the ability to manage software projects at scale, coupled with the ability to understand emerging markets and help drive product-market fit. It took me a year to bring Steve over, but it was worth the wait, as he fit the need well. He quickly came up to speed on the domain and built a deep understanding of how our technology can impact customers. He drove the reengineering of our cloud platform, bringing reliability, scale and efficiency into that layer. He also drove the design of our conceptual data model and took on responsibility for the client application layers as well. He was impressive in his ability to work with peer executives across the organization, advocating for what he felt was the right direction for the company and our clients. And his curious and creative mind and light sense of humor helped build a great environment. I highly recommend Steve to any company looking for an experienced executive technical leadership. "
