Profile bio

About Stephen Makin

I have had broad and varied experience in all aspects and divisions of IT companies over the last twenty five years + – from hands-on operations, to sales and marketing directorships, to CEO and managing director positions at both divisional, whole company and board of directors levels, with compete P&L responsibility for all areas of sales, operations, development and the financial health and profitability of companies.I believe I have a comprehensive mix of practical and managerial talents built from being involved in not only building companies from small beginnings but also the turnaround and transformation of failing companies and the experience of being involved in both the sale and acquisition of companies several times. I have also been involved in the successful market launch of many new or replacement software products.I believe the only really successful way of running a company is by building and maintaining solid relationships both internal and externally and to build consensus across multiple organisational levels.
