He has focused on growing organizations to deliver outsized impact and revenue from open-enrollment, customized, and online professional learning programs.

Stephen’s roles have encompassed leadership of practice-oriented academic programming, business strategy, learning design, marketing and business development, learning technologies, and operations management.

Stephen works with corporations, non-profits, K-12 systems, higher education institutions, and grantmaking organizations to understand and meet their learning and development objectives for key staff at all levels. Through careful planning and execution, he has led diverse teams to develop transformative program experiences for a wide range of practitioners (from CEOs and C-suite executives to early childhood educators working in developing countries) through innovative, high-quality learning design across face-to-face, online, and hybrid modalities.
