Whilst he has held numerous senior management and business development positions throughout his career, his roots are from the small business sector. From a lifetime in family business, he understands the constant pressures placed upon the small business operator and seeks to overcome them.

This strong affinity has not been lost today as he actively consults and facilitates workshops in business management, environmental education and sustainable commercial practices.

With qualifications in environmental management and business management, he has been able to incorporate strategies for sustainable business and energy efficiency (including waste management, recycling, efficient design, life-cycle analysis, EMS) into all of the work places he has managed. These have included hotels and hospitality complexes, commercial tenancies, and significant franchise operations.

He has travelled the world extensively and lived in Boston and London. Steve is fluent in the Macedonian language and has a strong cultural and social conscience. More than anything, he is concerned about what shape we’ll leave this place for our kids!

Steve has facilitated a network of consultants in South East Europe. They are charged to assist with current business and environmental strategies in meeting EU standards of operation in that region. Together with his team, he is also constructively pursuing education opportunities in India and China.

Since 2007 Steve has been a registered presenter with Australia’s ‘Al Gore Climate Change Project’ and has delivered the community climate-change message to a significant audience.

His sector experience includes Business, Environmental, Telco, Retail, Hospitality, Community Development, RTO, Welfare, Management, Franchising and Project Management, with Industry and Government Board and Panel positions.
