Relevant Employment History:
Steve has dedicated his entire professional career building Princeton Consultants, a firm with a 25 year track record applying a unique fusion of Information Technology and Management Consulting for many of the world's most successful and innovative companies. Princeton Consultants is known for its application of Game Theory and Optimization technologies to business problems ranging from asset scheduling to pricing to organizational structure/workflow. It integrates four core services: Strategy, Business Process Improvement, Software Development, and Project Management. The Wall Street Journal has called the firm's work "revolutionary." In the last 4 years, Consulting Magazine has twice featured Princeton Consultants, extolling its "broad thinkers" and notes "when consulting firms say they hire only the best and the brightest, they are usually engaging in a bit of hyperbole. Not so at Princeton Consultants."
Education:
Steve graduated from Princeton University in 1980 with an A.B. in Philosophy.

  • How to manage optimization projects from conception through implementation
  • How to garner and keep top executive focus and sponsorship for optimization activities
  • Effective partnerships between consulting firms and in-house IT, optimization, and content experts
  • How to blend different optimization approaches to achieve breakthroughs in capabilities and performance
  • Optimization techniques when the data are erroneous, untimely, and incomplete
  • Practical approaches for achieving real-time or dynamic optimization under uncertainty
  • The opportunities and challenges presented by emerging technologies to supply improved data for optimization
  • Helping companies reduce costs through the use of optimization technologies
  • Helping companies achieve higher profits through the use of optimal deployment of assets and strategic pricing
  • Staffing and career development of optimization professionals
