Steve’s early life on a Canadian farm couldn’t be further from his Wall Street dreams, but it held the same principles that would guide his career for years to come — the power of sowing and reaping, and how a successful harvest comes from hard work and planting the right seeds. It’s a mantra that has done him well, as he’s led investments for household names such as Box and DocuSign to name a few.

When he’s not helping the founders of tomorrow’s next great enterprise software solutions, he’s working on his boat, skiing or simply spending time with his family, particularly his wife — for whom he turned down a stock broker role many years ago to immigrate to Australia.
