Steve possesses a high industry intellect and professional executive stature that makes him a strong advocate in the medical device and radiopharmaceutical businesses. He is bright, engaging and a patient listener, a combination often lacking in many businessmen today.

I have known Steve for more than ten years in his capacity as a key leader and administrator in the field of health care and pharmaceuticals. My experiences with Steve have been as a customer (Director of the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology), advisor (President of Barnes-Jewish Hospital and two associated hospitals), and consultant (Chair of Radiology at Washington University and clinical researcher).
Steve is highly respected in the diagnostic imaging and health care worlds. He is known as a strategic thinker, visionary and a successful “operator.” He has good judgment about people and has surrounded himself with strong leaders and advisors. He gets things done and always moves in the right direction.

When I was the head of R&D for Covidien, Imaging Solutions, Steve established a clear vision and a plan for execution. He took on high risk and reward programs while also funding shorter term projects and broadly based geographically focused initiatives. Steve always exhibited a great sense of balance in our investment decisions. Lastly, Steve continually improved the way we collaborated and improved functional processes.
