Steve has spent over 30 years in technology, moving between technical and commercial roles throughout his career. He graduated from the University of the West of England with a BSc (Hons) in Business Computer Systems, then joined SELECT Software Tools around the time of its NASDAQ IPO. Over six years there, he progressed from sales engineer to principal pre-sales consultant, before taking on account management for SELECT's global partner network outside North America, where he was instrumental in closing deals with ING Bank, IBM, Airtours and Reuters.
In 1999 he left to co-found Slipstream SDS, a demand generation agency helping global tech companies including Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Intel, Dell and EMC expand into Europe. As IT Director, he took on responsibility for all operations, helping grow the business from zero to 100 employees in three years.
He then founded CRMLABS in 2005, a SaaS CRM company delivering fast CRM implementations to the mid-market, working with clients including Dell, IBM and Disney alongside a growing focus on SME customers. Following a merger and rebrand in 2015, the business became Altido Group, where Steve took on the CEO/CTO role and shifted its focus to digital transformation for legal, manufacturing, supply chain, real estate and business service clients.
Steve joined Geminos in 2021, where he now serves as CRO, working on global deals for some of the most high-profile brands in the world.
