Why Steve
An operator, not a theorist.
Steve has founded six companies, led two joint ventures and run global businesses across four continents. His coaching is built on decisions he has actually made, not frameworks from a textbook.
Why Pangero?
"A Pangero is your captain, your guide, when fishing on a skiff (panga). A good Pangero finds the fish and then helps get it on the boat."
Testimonials
What CEOs are saying
Steve works with a select number of CEOs at any time. These are their words.
“Your insights were like an oasis for a man stuck in a desert. It was invaluable to speak with someone who understood both deep tech IP and the dynamics of venture investors on the cap table.”
“Most importantly, Steve brought a level of trust, judgment, and integrity that made difficult decisions clearer and high-pressure moments manageable. His perspective helped me think bigger, act faster, and execute with discipline.”
