About Steven
Steve brings more than 40 years of agency CFO and COO experience — including scaling 72andSunny from $6M to $130M+ in revenue and leading its acquisition by a holding company, and 11 years as CFO of WONGDOODY through its own holding-company sale. He is a trusted partner to agency founders navigating growth, transformation, and exit.
