"Steven's ERP selection framework saved us $2M in vendor negotiation and prevented what could have been a $5M integration failure. His practical, outcome-focused approach is exactly what portfolio company operators need."
"We applied Steven's M&A integration playbook to three acquisitions. Result: 40% faster synergy capture and zero revenue disruption during cutover. This paid for itself 10x over."
"The zero-ransom crisis playbook Steven shared has become our standard across all portfolio companies. We've already avoided two potential ransom situations using his framework."
