Steve Hornick Email & Phone Number

Steve Hornick is a CTO | Product Leader | Board Member | Advisor at SchoolStatus. Colleagues describe them as "Steve is a talented engineer with a wealth of experience and expertise in software development and in leading engineering teams. He brings a passion for solving business problems to everything he does, and I count him among the most intelligent, most dedicated, and most passionate professionals I've had the chance to work with over the past 15 years. Steve is a strong full-stack engineer in his own right; yet his true strength can be seen as a manager and leader. During my time at LogRhythm Steve contributed to and led multiple critical projects adding game-changing features and functionality to our next-generation SIEM. I was fortunate enough to get to partner with Steve on one of these projects, and I was quickly impressed by Steve’s ability to take a brand new team with diverse members from across the organization, set clear and realistic goals, push through hurdles around evolving requirements and scope, and help drive his team to deliver on time and with high quality. Perhaps most importantly, I feel that Steve can be relied on to step up and step in. He is always positive, pragmatic, solution-oriented, and always willing to help. When he sees that something needs doing or a problem needs fixing, he engages without hesitation, and does so fluently and collaboratively. He communicates positively, professionally, and proactively, and is not afraid to speak up when he sees a problem. He has been persistent and patient in his efforts to support organizational changes and major customer support efforts, and he has successfully led his team to deliver several key, must-ship features in recent quarters. Steve is a skilled, enthusiastic, and proactive manager, and truly cares about the members of his team (the feeling is clearly mutual — his teammates appreciate that he will always have their backs and be there to help support them). He is a true asset to our organization, and I recommend him without reservation. I would count myself fortunate to be able to work with him again in the future!", "Steve is a great engineering manager and leader. He's one of those unique engineering managers that truly understands business and its commitments. While he fights for his team, he also known when to push them to achieve some really amazing goals without burnout. He knows how to truly collaborate with Product Management to take a crazy idea and break it down into something that matches or exceeds the original vision. I thoroughly enjoyed partnering with him on a couple of projects and look forward to many more in the near future.", and "Steve is the kind of engineering partner, advocate, and leader any product manager hopes to find in their career. I was privileged enough to work with him at Return Path for two years during his transition from a senior developer to engineering manager. Steve is an excellent engineer, he takes ownership quickly, and there’s no problem too difficult. He deeply understands the customer problems he's solving, and time after time, quickly comes up with the right fit technical solution. After seeing him as a manager and leader, I’m even more convinced of his excellence. He’s earned tremendous respect from his team and myself due to his ability to deliver (often ahead of schedule), leverage other's strengths, collaborate, and communicate with both candor and empathy. Steve strives for excellence and action. He was able to deliver on many deadlines and fit in more functionality than we originally scoped because he trusted and supported his team, giving them true ownership in areas they were most excited and ready for. He let his team shine and successfully advocated for them to get to work on interesting and impactful projects. I’ve always felt supported by Steve. He's always been available and passionate to collaborate and find an answer. He was quick to deeply grasp requirements and then ensured everyone had a clear vision before delegating work. Steve leads both with an eye on today and sight for tomorrow, which is a rare trait. No matter how high the challenge, Steve has taken it head on and motivated those around him to deliver high quality results ."
