Who We've Worked With

I worked with Steve at Fortra where he served as the leader of product management and strategy for our Tripwire brand (file integrity monitoring) as well as our Alert Logic brand (managed threat detection and response).

Some of Steve’s key achievements during his time at Fortra include responsibility for defining and executing our product strategy, ensuring that our FIM and MDR solutions were aligned with the ever-evolving threat landscape. In addition, Steve spearheaded numerous innovative product enhancements and feature developments, which garnered accolades from customers and industry experts alike. His dedication to staying at the forefront of technology was evident in his ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions.

Steve possesses a unique blend of technical expertise and strategic thinking. His passion for cybersecurity, coupled with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable strategies, sets him apart in the industry. 

 I recruited Steve to three different companies, and have been delighted with the results each time.

He excels in product management, marketing, and business development roles. At AMD he not only revamped our processes and delivered excellent results in his primary role, he also created successful new approaches for product marketing and recruiting activities. At Samsung and KnuEdge Steve was again successful, delivering ahead of schedule with clear analyses, compelling marketing strategies, and valued input as part of the leadership team.

Steve is productive, thoughtful, analytic and can be counted on to deliver. He challenges himself to think differently in his approach and doesn't get stuck in only one way of solving a problem. I absolutely recommend him to any organization seeking a high-impact marketing and/or product executive.  

 Steve has been a huge part of Forcepoint's product management team. We brought him in based on his experience in optimizing portfolios for expanding markets, and weren’t disappointed: Very quickly he created a new and collaborative portfolio approach, built on an updated “North Star” vision, expanded critical data, accelerated decision-making, and a comprehensive view of our product delivery. Based on its success, we extended and used this approach across all of our commercial products.

Steve’s strategic leadership, go-to-market focus and experience in growing and harnessing a team of product managers & marketers made him a respected leader within Forcepoint. His team launched our flagship product, Dynamic Data Protection, which remains unique and competitively advantaged in our industry. He brought senior leadership, clarity to the business, and crisp execution to the team, and I’d recommend him to any company seeking to expand their market share, or successfully enter new markets. 

Cindy was a star player on my HP and later Canon Solutions America marketing team, nominated and selected at both companies for the prestigious President and Century Club awards. In 2013, I supported Cindy’s decision to transition into consulting to assist other companies in deploying the best practice marketing methodologies we put in place at HP and Canon. I am pleased to see Cindy thrive as a marketing consultant and happy to have her still supporting our team.

Having worked with Cindy at HP and later Canon, I was pleased to tap into a known asset when I needed additional marketing support to ramp our Call Center team. Cindy developed a funnel analysis and comprehensive Call Center plan mapped to our revenue goals. Cindy's understanding of the lead generation process in high-end B2B complex sales cycles makes her a great asset in the strategy planning and analysis process. Cindy delivers on time and on budget and is a trusted advisor and a pleasure to work with.
