Hi, I’m Steve. I’m Chief Revenue Officer at Truly SMB. We’re a global Microsoft partner, laser focused on helping small businesses get the most of technology, particularly AI and automation.

My role is all about making sure what we sell, and the language we use to talk about it, sounds good to small business owners. We try to talk without jargon, and assume not every small business owner knows the entire Microsoft product set before we speak to them!

Our revolutionary approach at Truly SMB is about business fitness. We call it TrulyFIT. We work with a customer to understand their long term goals, and then our ‘programs’ and ‘workouts’ help break these down into achievable chunks. This delivers easy to understand, incremental gains. We cover AI Business Solutions, IT Support & Security and Cloud & AI platforms

I was previously CTO at Bam Boom Cloud, Microsoft's Partner of the Year for Dynamics 365 Business Central in 2019 and 2022, finalists in 2020/2021. We were acquired by Pax8 in 2023. I spent 2 years building out awesome new partner enablement programs for our partners at Pax8, a global tech marketplace.

I'm also an FCA qualified accountant and love geeking out on the latest tech!

Client spend has scaled past $200K a month to seven-figure monthly revenue; at Wooga he managed $1M+ a month in UA budgets, with earlier roles at Zalando, Deutsche Telekom, Google, Intel, and Oracle.

Emmi Kavander

Emmi Kavander

After surviving a near-fatal traffic accident in 2017 that doctors had little hope of me surviving, I embarked on a tough journey to understand my purpose to survive. During months of rehabilitation for re-learning to walk, I wondered about my fullest potential.

For 15 years, I had climbed a steep corporate ladder and reached every goal I ever envisioned, especially the ones others said impossible, including a seat in the senior leadership of a stock-listed FinTech before turning 30.

Combined with a decade of intense psychology studies, I realised that instead of using my combined wealth of knowledge for my own success as I had until then, I could help others reach their wildest dreams. This was the responsibility I felt arising from surviving the accident.

Now, as a globally active executive coach and entrepreneur, I bring my solid experience and expertise from years of strategy and psychology, as well as coaching top business leaders, to the table.

My true passion lies in empowering others to reach their aspirations - my speciality is the impossible ones.

Originating from Finland and based in Switzerland, I have an MBA from the University of London and am also an alumna of IMD Business School. In addition, I have studied psychology and NLP (certified Master Practitioner) to deepen my understanding of human psychology.

Tao Chun Liu

Tao Chun Liu is an international speaker, trainer, and project delivery practitioner working at the intersection of AI, Agile, and business analysis.

With seven years in AI and eight in Agile, Tao has led more than 3,500 sprints as a Scrum Master and coach, and delivered over 80 GenAI workshops across 35 countries. His sessions cover agentic AI, human-AI collaboration in delivery, AI for business analysis, and game-based ways to teach Scrum that actually stick.

He works across Traditional, Generative, and Agentic AI, and designs for communities often left out of the tooling — including Kiswahili, Arabic, and Ubuntu-informed contexts. His focus is on moving teams from AI curiosity to working, measurable practice.
