About

Title: Founder, Managing Director

Steven R. Ligeza

What I've done:
IT Leader, Consultant, and Entrepreneur - My strategic technology vision, business acumen, tactical leadership, first-rate communication skills, and deep technology experience combine to enable me to succeed in any environment from a small startup to a fortune 500 company.

Who I am:
I like to help people get things done using my unique blend of experience and skills. More important than tech is a deep understanding of *why* we're using the tech. In a “past life” I’ve been a recording & touring musician through 8 countries, making me strangely comfortable with public speaking. I like outdoorsy things, and stay curious about subjects including history, music, and how entrepreneurs think.  

Super-powers:
* I have a knack for identifying root causes. 
* I'm a good translator between techies and business people. 
* I have an eagle-eye for recognizing and grooming talent. 
* I default to a big-picture strategic view, and then dive into details. 
* I tend to be an early adopter of technology that makes life better in a practical way.
