When Visual Analytics was introduced into the UK – Steve took it to market as the first Product Manager to support its major release to many financial institutions.

Prior to joining SAS Steve was a Senior Research officer at the LSE – working for Nick Stern (now Lord Stern) on Taxation Theory in Developing Countries. It was during this post-doctoral work that Steve was introduced to SAS and he liked the software so much he joined the company!
