Hi, I'm Steve, a researcher, communicator, and project manager. I've had success over the past two decades managing production, projects, and processes in fast-changing industries, as well as research and communicating complex ideas. Now I'm looking for my next role. My work has always been about making the world a better place by producing and disseminating useful things and ideas.
I've managed production and projects in complex and fast-changing fields like e-books and rapid prototyping. A hunger for product knowledge and communication have allowed me to to flex and adapt, in order to hit production targets despite changing technology or requirements. I've enjoyed managing the diverging interests of stakeholders (e.g. clients, designers, production teams, and our business needs) to achieve win-win results. And I've kept teams focused and satisfied in a highly fluid production environments.
Eventually I wanted to understand the social and political reasons for making this instead of that. So I became a social scientist, first focusing on critical international security and then on political theory and international relations. I built a diverse tookit of social research methods, learned to sift and synthesize that into new ideas and present it to specialists. I also learned to condense and teach that knowledge to non-experts in face-to-face and online settings. My 10+ years of teaching and research have been devoted helping people understand and act on what's in front of them.
If you're involved in production and need a resourceful and effective manager, or if you need to understand and act in the face of uncertainty, I can help - especially in these areas:
