Stephen Carlson is a Chief Executive Officer at Giveshare. He possess expertise in business process, project management, management consulting, business process improvement, sap and 35 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "While sitting in the CFO function at a $35M services firm, I had the pleasure of working side by side with Steve to help assess and re-structure our entire operational footprint. As COO, Steve recognized the criticality of this effort being done in lockstep with the CFO office. He was able to quickly learn our industry, and asked the right questions to lead us to a successful operational redesign. Steve started with process analysis and re-design, which led to a technology assessment to replace our existing software to enable the new processes. His balanced understanding of how software packages work as well as his quick understanding of our business were integral in ensuring we would have the tools to actually realize our targeted improvements, and not just have an exercise in process documentation. This led to a re-organization of our departments and built out a massive increase in capacity which allowed us to grow our business without expanding our staff. Steve’s attention to detail was outdone by his curiosity, and he was able to make us confident that he understood thoroughly what we were trying to achieve along the way. Steve successfully integrated his operational reports with our financial reporting, including our work in progress calculations, to ensure that for the first time we fully understood our operational position. I would recommend Steve as a leader in operations to any growth-oriented company." and "Every team needs a Steve. I had the pleasure of working with Steve when I was heading up business development at an early-stage SaaS company, whose growing pains and culture issues had it burning through cash. We were taking on new business too quickly and our operations were unprepared. This caused both quality and customer service to take a dive, which resulted in customer churn and employee turn-over. Multiple consultants had tried and failed to help us course correct and I assumed Steve wouldn’t be any different. Not only did Steve go on to bring the company back to profitability, but he helped smooth over key channel partnerships and guide the company through a crucial investment round. His passion for helping put people in positions to thrive and his innate desire to provide immense value shows in both his insane work ethic and abilities as a leader. When those soft skills are merged with his executive-level business acumen and extensive experience, it makes for a highly coveted asset for any organization. "
