Stephen joined Google from Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he spent nearly eight years managing several multi-billion dollar P&Ls through extraordinary growth with oversight over product, engineering, sales, and alliances. This included AWS Marketplace and ISV Partnerships, inventing and building AWS Data Exchange, and leading AWS’s Enterprise Strategy and Migration businesses globally.

Stephen is considered one of the leading voices in the industry on cloud. He’s built world-class cloud-native engineering organizations, helped thousands of enterprises transform as they migrate to the cloud, delivered dozens of cloud-related keynotes, and authored Ahead in the Cloud: Best Practices for Navigating the Future of Enterprise IT. He’s also helped hundreds of ISVs and data providers transition to an as-a-service based model via cloud marketplaces while overseeing AWS Marketplace.

Prior to joining AWS, Stephen was the CIO of Dow Jones, where he introduced modern software development methodologies (moving from a few releases a year to hundreds per week), reduced more than $100M in costs, and consolidated 56 data centers to 6 while moving 75% of their infrastructure to the cloud. Stephen also spent 11 years at Bloomberg LP, holding a variety of leadership positions across their equity and messaging platforms, before founding Bloomberg Sports in 2008, where he served as CTO.

Stephen earned his bachelor’s degree in computer science from State University of New York College at Fredonia.
