About Steve
I grew up in London, England, and pursued my studies in the United States at the University of Chicago, where I earned a double major in Economics and English Literature. This combination reflects my belief in the power of blending analytical rigor with creative expression—a perspective that has shaped both my personal and professional journey. Professionally, I was an early employee within DoorDash's New Verticals DashMart business, where I was hired as the first Operations Manager. This role gave me invaluable insights into operating a startup, wearing multiple hats, and navigating challenges in a fast-paced environment. It also took me from the Midwest to Silicon Valley. More recently, I’ve been working in management consulting with BCG, collaborating with executives on transformative initiatives and driving strategic impact across industries including Retail, Financial Institutions, and Tech. Outside of work, I'm passionate about international cinema, playing football/soccer, and live concerts.
Why do I coach?
Coaching has been pivotal in my personal and professional growth, and I’m passionate about paying it forward. I’ve experienced how the right coach provides not only guidance but also a thoughtful challenge—helping to refine ideas, eliminate bias, and craft the most compelling story. What excites me most is working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, each with unique stories and perspectives. Everyone’s journey is different, and I love uncovering those experiences and helping candidates showcase their individuality. Diverse perspectives elevate storytelling, and collaborating to highlight them makes the process both meaningful and energizing.
