Steve is an experienced innovator and facilitator who loves to work with leaders and teams on problems that require a different perspective. In his early career he worked in process re-engineering applying ideas from lean, six sigma and systems thinking to challenges in organisations as well as facilitating and coaching teams to develop these skills. At Treehouse Innovation, he is part of the leadership team and helps leaders build organisations that will make the world a better place: designing and making great products and services, providing rewarding careers and creating value for owners by solving the problems that societies face. Key clients have included Accenture, Lloyds Bank, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Salesforce, Woolworths, Janssen and KPMG. He often works with senior leadership teams to help create alignment on the challenges they face and help leaders to think differently in order to solve complex problems.

In his past life, he set up and ran four new businesses at world-renowned design and innovation firm IDEO, including co-founding OpenIDEO.com a global platform of over 300,000 innovators. He has facilitated workshops with hundreds of participants and led organisation design programs that have helped shift the innovation strategy for traditional organisations such as Freudenberg and Generali and helped design a startup incubator for Europe called HackFWD. He has worked with clients such as SKY, HP, IKEA, T-Mobile, VISA, Astrazeneca, DFID and Oxfam to help them to innovate.
