Steve Morin is a Sr Director of Engineering at Asana. Colleagues describe him as "At Asana, I served as the area tech lead of the area that Steve managed (3-6 teams), and reported directly to him for 4 years. All along the way Steve trusted me and gave me a high amount of autonomy while giving me valuable feedback along the way. This enabled me to grow my own leadership skills, influence, and impact. What impresses me most about Steve are his incredible people skills. He can build trust with new people very quickly, can handle tough situations and conversations with ease, and is able to navigate a large organization very effectively. Steve is extremely well connected within Asana as well as in the industry, and is often leveraging his network to solve problems quicker. He is a long-term thinker, and has enabled impactful and important technical investments such as migrating the architecture of the Android app to MVVM and its ORM from greenDAO to Room. He also championed investing in Asana's Communication Platform. It now takes an engineer 2 days instead of 2 weeks to add a new email, it's also much faster to add a new notification across multiple channels, and we are currently building targeting, delivery time optimization, and relevancy. Steve is great at organizational design! He is always making sure that the right people are in the right positions with the right level of autonomy and support, and is also always building redundancy. Steve also initiated the opening of a new R&D office on a different continent, and led the location selection process. This office is now helping Asana grow more efficiently." and "Steve was a great leadership thought partner, I really appreciated having him as a peer to ideate through org challenges and solutions. Our teams collaborated on several initiatives, and Steve was both communicative and had a solid understanding of the issues/risks/and challenges we were facing and was a great partner for working through them. I'd be happy to work with him again in the future!"
