“I had the pleasure of working for Steve for two years when he was Director of the PMO at Matson Navigation. Steve was tasked with forming a new PMO in an environment where some peers were unfriendly to working with project managers, some assigned sponsors of the PMO were indifferent, in a culture that had no clear understanding of the proper role for project managers. In the face of this, Steve remained diligent, persistent, and inventive. Focusing on results, we delivered standard processes for project teams and standard reporting for our business leaders. Steve was astute and pragmatic about how rapidly the organization could receive change, and he was transparent with his own team about the challenges of the landscape we were navigating. In spite of those challenges, we did great work together. He is an insightful, fair, and humane leader.”
