About Stephen

Stephen has spent more than 20 years leading global Customer Experience, Customer Support and post-sale operations for companies including Oracle, NICE and Deltek.

He works with leaders to improve operational performance, strengthen reporting, redesign workflows and make better use of technology, AI and automation. His approach is practical and evidence-led, focused on understanding what is really happening, identifying the causes behind performance issues and deciding what to change first.

Stephen is also the co-founder of Signals, a customer operations intelligence platform designed to identify emerging risks, cut through operational noise and help teams move from insight to action.

Signals Ops sits alongside the product, providing hands-on consulting across Customer Support, Customer Success, Zendesk, operating model design and responsible automation.

The common thread is operational clarity: helping leaders see the warning signs earlier, understand what is driving them and take practical action before they become larger customer or revenue problems.
