I was in his Vistage group for 5 years and the value that I got from Steve and the group was immeasurable; for example, while in Vistage, I bought out my other shareholders, created a communication protocol throughout the company (and damn it works well), increased my first pass yields from 60 ish to 99 ish!, have a 0.06% warranty, and now have an incredible system for innovating and following innovation protocols in the company, and because of Vistage I had banking relationships that allowed me understanding and access to PPP funds (and hopefully draw 2 any day now). I could go on and on about the benefits. I would not be where I am without my peer group and forcing regular communication with them.
On a more personal side, Steve really pushed me on communication with my family, especially with my Son, who turned 18 last week!
As an analytical person, Steve can communicate with you yet his family emphasis forces a balance that is certainly needed.
I’ve known Steven Ow for over five years now, and have always found him to be extremely insightful on a vast array of business topics. His wealth of business knowledge obviously comes from his many years involved in running large corporations. Steve is a dedicated, driven and result oriented leader that focus’ on a goal and achieves it. He is a great motivator of his team, challenging them to achieve a high level of success for the company, as well as themselves. Steve has also become a good friend over the years, and has helped me as a mentor to raise my own company to a higher level of success that I may not have done without his suggestions and follow up. Once I commit to adopt one of Steve’s suggestions, he is great at making you accountable for seeing your commitment through. With Steve’s background in Engineering, he understands the need to cover the finest of details, whether mass producing highly delicate electronics, or following through the administrative process from purchasing, manufacturing to sales. I would not hesitate to recommend Steven Ow to any company looking for a executive who will take you to higher levels of success and profitability.
I’ve known Steve since 2017 when I joined the Vistage group he chairs. Steve has been a great asset in helping us grow our business, cut costs and be more competitive as a result. It tends to snowball over time as increased operating efficiencies and lower costs leads to more competitiveness which leads to more business. I can’t thank Steve enough for the guidance he has given over the past three years and highly recommend Steve to anyone wanting to grow their business!
Steve Ow is an outstanding chair and mentor to any CEO or Founder. He has tons of experience dealing with business and provides great insight into pretty much any scenario.
I met Steve last year and was immediately struck by his knowledge of leadership, coaching, and relationship management. Steve has a fantastic track record as an entrepreneur and working for others. He has built and sold multi-million-dollar firms from scratch and managed the global operations of a firm with over $1 billion in sales. Steve also coaches other Presidents/CEOs to help them meet their goals. Steve’s experiences as an entrepreneur have been tremendously helpful to me as I lead and motivate my team. In addition, he has provided guidance to help me strengthen my relationships with existing clients and informed me of new methods for generating leads. These techniques which worked so well for him, are helping me both grow my business and protect my existing base of customers. Steve is also unique in that he does not wait for the next coaching session to provide guidance. He proactively reaches out to me with suggestions to continuously help me achieve my goals. I highly recommend Steve because he is passionate about helping others and provides practical advice which can be implemented immediately.
Most people talk a big talk but do not walk the walk, Steven is not one of them, he talks the talk and walks the walk! I hardly find people on Linkedin who are real, genuine, extremely professional, and ACTUALLY here to help people. Steven is exactly that. He is a doer, not a talker and this is admirable. He has a keen eye for talent, he knows great managers, has a deep understanding of business making and moving things forward.
