Background
About Steve
I work with founder-led service firms at structural inflection points in their growth.
For more than two decades, I’ve focused on one question: How does a scaling company evolve from founder-driven execution to institutionally designed performance?
My work centers on operating architecture — governance clarity, decision rights, execution cadence, and leadership accountability that allow an enterprise to function with durability under growth.
I began my career in Big Four accounting and investment banking, where I saw how companies are evaluated under real pressure. Revenue alone does not create strength. Structure does.
I am the developer of the Summit OS operating architecture framework and the author of multiple books on scalable enterprise systems.
I partner with a limited number of firms each year to ensure depth of engagement and disciplined implementation.
If structure has become the constraint in your company, we should talk.
