'I met Steve Turner in 1997 when I was appointed head of Shared Medical Systems (now Siemens) Strategic Consulting Practice for International clients. Steve was instrumental in identifying what worked, and where we needed to alter our strategy.
I had the opportunity to work directly with Steve over several months on a major procurement. The relationships he established, and the credibility he obviously earned with the prospective customer was a major factor is SMS winning this business. His work eithic, reputation and customer demand for additional services earned Steve the recognition as the highest billable hours consutant in the practice.
