Recommendations A preview of what LinkedIn members have to say about Steve:
“ I had the good fortune to work with Steve at Arbonne and was continually inspired by his knowledge, passion, and management skills while he served as Sr. Director of Arbonne's PMO. His leadership was critical to the growth of the PMO and to the professional growth of those who worked for and with him. He excelled at developing processes and strategies that were key to growing the business and his business knowledge/savvy were unparalleled. I highly recommend Steve to any company that is looking for a hands-on, strategic minded executive who is a team player and thrives on success. “ I've had the opportunity to work for two amazing people over the course of my career and Steve is one of them. He brings a unique combination of leadership, problem solving skills and a calm demeanor that fosters an environment for both professional and personal growth.
