Steve joined CloudBees in September 2011 to drive overall product development and product management. Steve came to CloudBees after more than 13 years leading Oracle's Java server development organization.

He joined Oracle in 1998 to manage the team that delivered Java support natively, inside the Oracle database. Steve led Oracle's Java products and strategy from the inception of Java EE though the acquisitions of BEA and Sun Microsystems. Along the way, he helped to establish Java-based middleware as a major contributor to Oracle's product portfolio.

Before Oracle, Steve served as vice president of engineering for ParcPlace-Digitalk after selling his Smalltalk-based startup, Polymorphic Software, to the company.

Steve's professional journey from the early days of object-oriented programming, through different development paradigms, into the emergence of the Java platform and its adoption in the enterprise convinced him that the changes being brought about today with the cloud and PaaS will fundamentally impact software developers and enterprises.

He joined CloudBees to be at the leading edge of those changes.
