In Stephen’s Words
I love to help businesses clarify where and how they win—and then build the right structure, team, and strategy to accelerate toward that goal. Whether scaling an industrial OEM, optimizing channel performance, or repositioning a brand for growth, I lead with cross-functional alignment with Marketing and Sales, practical innovation, and deep commercial insights of the customers and those who influence their decisions. My approach blends strategic marketing with operational excellence to unlock meaningful, measurable growth.
