Testimonials 

“We’ve had better cooperation between Engineering and Marketing over the last thirty days than I’ve seen over the past two years.”
– Dan Fischback, CEO, DemandTec, Inc.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working directly with Steve Winters for over a year on the “Hear Music media bar” project with Starbucks Coffee Company. During that time I was able to observe first hand Steve’s management style and drive for excellence. His style is one of leadership and respect for those members of his direct and virtual team members. Steve’s strong organizational skills, coupled with his ability to hold people accountable for quality work, contributed strongly to the success that the music project was able to achieve. I would highly recommend Steve Winters for future consulting and management engagements.”
– Marc Kriz, Alliance Manager, Hewlett-Packard Corp

“Steve did a great job in managing the engineering organization on an interim basis. He was sensitive to the engineers’ needs and provided strong leadership in project planning and execution. Steve helped make my transition to [company] go very smoothly, much better than it would have gone otherwise. He provided insightful thought and guidance. I really appreciate his professionalism and contributions.”
– Jim Dai, VP Engineering, DemandTec, Inc.

“(Our management team) has been working much better together. I'm not sure exactly how he did it, but I actually feel a willingness from the other members of the team to want to work more closely together, and I'm reciprocating in kind.”
– Tom Fenstermacher, Director, Enterprise Software Company

“Metrics—Engineering has been able to produce metrics that have enabled the operational leaders of the company to make more effective product and operational decisions. This concept was brought forth by Steve.”
–Cristos Goodrow, Director, Enterprise Software Company

“From my perspective, [a manager] has become a much more effective leader. He has produced metrics and been more open with statuses and information than I had seen prior to Steve's arrival.”
– Director, Enterprise Software Company

“After an impressive 5 weeks of work, we are already seeing improvements within the engineering organization. Measurements and actionable tasks are only a couple of the by-products of your leadership and understanding of the issues at DemandTec.”
– David Turner, Director, DemandTec, Inc.

 “Working with you (Steve), my practice grew 75% over a period of seven weeks. When I present a challenge/issue/subject, you often come up with a perspective/area of the challenge/issue/subject that I consider “out of the box” or something I never thought of. This perspective often turns out to be a solution, as well as a doorway to other ideas for my practice.”
– Marie Royer, Small Business Owner
