Stephen

Senior Delivery Principal

What projects are you most excited about?

I’m most excited by the ambiguous projects where the client is unsure of how to tackle their challenge. There’s something fulfilling about this — it's a journey that's not always perfect, but once we're on the other side and the client can take action there’s a real sense of accomplishment. We help address and solve for their unique challenges.
