Steve led Cytel’s business development from a small research-based venture to its sale to New Mountain Capital as a commercial clinical software & service company. A specialist in transformational growth of smaller enterprises, as an investor and executive, Steve has managed the commercial operations for Accelrys (Acquired by Dassault), Wavemark (Acquired by Cardinal Health) and several other start-ups.

Arriving in Boston the summer of 1981, he attended his first Boston Philharmonic concert and has enjoyed and supported the orchestra since then, joining the board in January 2019.

He runs a music recording studio where he mentors young and aspiring musicians as a part of their graduation requirements at Francis W. Parker Charter Essential School. He also volunteers on sound and music for social, cultural and political projects. He has three grown boys and lives with his wife, Ursula, in Concord, MA.
