I have been blessed over the years to work with some terrific people. Some of them were kind enough to share some comments about me that you can see below.
Shawn Hopper - Sr. Account Executive – Content Management, EMC (business partner)
Steve is an excellent strategic thinker who built and executed a plan to grow his company’s software sales and professional services business in a relatively short period of time. Through his leadership, CASNET quickly moved from “off the radar” to becoming EMC’s goto firm in one of their most competitive markets. After getting up to speed on EMC’s full ECM portfolio, Steve did a great job of identifying gaps in his company’s product offering, finding the right solutions/resources to fill those gaps, and marketing his plan to build pipeline and close new business. I found Steve to be a great business partner and a good person to work with and I look forward to partnering with him in the future
Lisa Thompson - Commercial Business Development, CASNET
Steve is a very professional and personable guy – always quick to respond and more than willing to help if and where he can. We have had a great working relationship at CASNET. He is authentic, hard-working, and approachable while maintaining good relationships with employees, clients and vendors. He is a visionary leader with a passion for business that is infectious and motivating. His corporate and technology insights have made me a more successful sales professional.
Tom Foley - Senior Account Executive, Cranel, Inc.
Steve Rucinski is a true leader who isn’t afraid of new challenges. He brings new ideas into the equation constantly, and is willing to share his ideas with others. I like working with Steve because of his strong element of trust.
Becky McCray - Executive Producer, Grasshopper New Media
Steve made time in a super busy schedule to contribute to our small business podcast. His contributions were well thought out, useful, and highly professional. He brought great value to the project.
Andrew Holland - President, EYEMG.com, LLC
Steve and I have communed in the NEOH Technology networking circle and I believe that he is truly believes in co-opetition as long as it is for the communities benefit. I have personally seen Steve go above and beyond the call to connect people and businesses that should be connected – most often with no direct benefit to himself. If you are a business partner of Steve’s you know how valuable he is in your network. If you are not a current business partner, I recommend that you get to know Steve – it’s good for you!”
Robert Dianetti - (client)
Steve performed an excellent assessment of our organization. He is personal, dedicated, and puts a lot of effort into his work. I do not hesitate to recommend him.
Anita Campbell - CEO, Small Business Trends LLC
My association with Steve over a period of 5 years has been fruitful — in fact, it’s made a huge difference to my business. Steve is an accomplished senior-level executive with a wide range of skills. When we worked together to kick off the SMBtrendwire.com podcast, we started with a clean sheet of paper. And we started back in the days when podcasts were brand new, and there weren’t the tools available today to make things easy. Steve jumped right in, educated himself, and figured out what to do. Always hands-on, yet strategic at the same time, he was the ideal person to work with on a new endeavor. I’ve benefited greatly from my association with Steve.
Craig A. James - Procurement Sales Director / Marketing Manager, Inacom
Pure & simple: Steve is a man of his word. An expert leader in Sales & Sales-Management. Talented communicator… Passionate about growing, learning & helping others do the same… A top-notch executive who I admire and respect.
