“‘Ridiculously efficient’ is how I would describe Steve. While I was an Enterprise AE at Bitly, Steve was an account manager, where we partnered for 2.5 years on new business and expansion opportunities. He had the most extensive book in account management and was paired with the most AEs on the team (four). Steve was a fantastic partner in implementing new business deals we closed, identifying opportunities with existing accounts, and creating and leading EBR presentations to show the delivered value. He always made himself available as a technical resource and to help in any way for the team to hit our targets.” — Nick, Sales at Bitly

“He exceeded as a leader and collaborator, allowing me and other team members to work in ways that played to our unique strengths…. His positive attitude, attention to detail, strong work ethic, and ability to bring people together is a valuable asset to any team.” — Ashley, Customer Program Manager at Bitly

“Steve has the unique ability to make all people feel welcomed and heard while still getting a lot of work done. He is an amazing team player, a diplomatic listener, and a leader all wrapped into one!” — Sarah, Sr. Program Director-Marketing at Bitly

“Steve has been the most efficient and caring manager I've had in my career history.”

“Steve does a fantastic job of stretching my capabilities. He's always raising the bar of expectations and finding new ways to play to my strengths and skills. I also really appreciate that he encourages us to "bring our whole self to work" by treating us as whole human beings and not simply generators of labor. He's always understanding of my personal needs and receptive to feedback, which makes me feel that he respects me as a colleague and a person.”

“Steve’s rate of getting stuff done is astonishing to me. He has two (and now, bordering on 3 or 4) different roles/teams that he works with and never lets things fall through the cracks or get delayed (if it's within his control). He's always pushing forward to do more and better.”

Steve knows the product and our customer user cases better than anyone in the organization. He has excellent customer service, listening and communication skills that make him a great leader. I turn to Steve and his team for feedback often and always appreciate their perspective. On top of all of that, Steve is an all-around wonderful person who embodies Bitly's values, specifically RESPECT.
