About Steven Singer

I am a transformational and entrepreneurial leader who has grown and managed companies to optimize shareholder value and employees’ opportunities. Serving as Board Member, I quickly assess customer needs, market, differentiation potential, technology opportunities, and operational strategy to help define and execute the optimal business model to drive results. I help drive growth organically and/or through acquisition. With strong manufacturing and financial acumen, I zero in on gaps and challenges to define paths to sustained success. I am known for my expertise at online and direct marketing and also have extensive experience selling through retail stores, a direct sales force and distributors. I have particular expertise in family business management from multiple perspectives: as a fourth-generation family member, as a non-family senior leader in family businesses, and as a board member.I am hands-on and committed to attention to detail while also keeping the bigger strategy in focus. Fast paced and innovative, I have high expectations of myself and others. The people who work with me view me as demanding and supportive, pushing for results and having their backs while fostering their personal and professional growth.I have a history of transforming and leading businesses to sustained success, optimizing share-holder value and creating opportunities for employees.
