Colleagues describe him as "Steve contracted with my team at GMAC for 6 months, serving as a requirements analyst focused on a key initiative to drive forward a core data product. To say it was a delight to work with him is a gross understatement. He is detail-oriented, curious, tenacious, and thinks through every user and every scenario meticulously. He was instrumental in taking the high-level vision of how the new experience would work and translating it into robust requirements that development could easily pick up and run with. He was an outstanding partner, easily building relationships across the organization, and maintaining a positive solution-oriented mindset that kept the project moving forward. I appreciated his iterative approach to requirements definition, his comfort with ambiguity, and his commitment to pulling at as many threads as necessary to deliver a cohesive suite of critical stories to drive the business forward. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Steve and hope to work with him in the future." and "Steve was the face of Agile at Freddie Mac for many years, from it's earliest pilot phase through its emergence as the preeminent development methodology, supplanting waterfall, at the firm. Steve consistently promoted excellence and continuous improvement in Agile practices, even when enterprise commitment and management support waned. He brought in high-quality coaches, enabled scrum masters and product owners and built processes to enable, launch and guide new Agile teams. Steve educated executives and advocated for adjustments to corporate planning and project reporting processes to ease the overhead on Agile teams, so they could more fully embrace the core Agile practices. He developed and maintained metric reporting and promoted Agile success stories at the enterprise-level, making sure Freddie Mac stakeholders had visibility into both the numbers and the benefits. I would recommend Steve highly for any future opportunity. Steve always digs in, masters the subject and is creative in how to advance objectives based on current corporate culture (i.e. "meet them where they are"). Steve and I had a great working relationship, with Steve driving thought leadership and facilitating team resolution of challenges, always escalating roadblocks, where I needed to come in and align ally support."
