ABOUT STEVE
I believe that Innovation isn’t a side hustle. It’s the engine that separates companies that lead from those that scramble to catch up.
For the last 20 years, I’ve helped executives and technology teams move from big organisations to fast-moving, value-creating, and customer focused.
Over this time, I’ve worn many hats - systems admin, software developer, product manager, consultant, founder.
What I’ve learned is this: technology only matters if it solves real problems and drives profitable growth. True innovation isn’t about chasing shiny objects, it’s about building the right solutions for the right reasons.
WHY INNOVATION MATTERS
Markets shift overnight. Competitors pop up from nowhere. Customer expectations never stop climbing. In this environment, innovation isn’t optional… it’s survival.
But most companies talk about innovation while running on old playbooks. I help leaders rip up those playbooks and design new ones that actually deliver.
MY EDGE
I’ve led from both sides of the fence. From a global brand’s innovation lab (where I learned the power of human-centered design) to building and scaling my own technology services firm.
The journey taught me how to bridge the worlds of strategy, tech, and execution without losing sight of the customer.
Whether it’s creating compelling value propositions, validating ideas, or steering complex transformations, I know what it takes to go from big idea to measurable impact.
WHAT DRIVES ME
The world is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, as the strategists call it. My mission is to help leaders not just survive that reality, but turn it to their advantage.
I work with organisations to cut through complexity, find clarity, and embed innovation as a core business capability… not a side project.

On a personal note
I live in Melbourne, Australia with my wife Fernanda, and son Nick who is keeping us extremely busy. Fernanda argues that my first love is actually football (soccer), followed closely by my love for cooking.
The Gallup company tells me I’m a serial learner and strategist. That pretty much sums me up. I’m rarely without a new book to read, checking out the latest tech on Twitter, or writing ideas in my Moleskin.
Through this business, I get to meet some extraordinary people with whom I can share some of my knowledge, but I’m also continuously learning. My hope is that I get to share my adventure with some wonderful people and we all get to make an impact around us.
