Bio
Edit

Steve is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Awardco. He learned a great deal watching his father’s career in employee recognition with companies like McDonald’s—but something was missing. In 2011, Steve began working on plans to use new, innovative technology to solve the pitfalls of traditional employee recognition programs: burdensome processes, exorbitant markups, and limited redemption options. Awardco was born shortly after, and his vision has resonated deeply within an industry in desperate need of change.
