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!
