THE BACK STORY

Stephen has held senior management positions in a number of multinational corporations, across a variety of industries. He has been associated with the steel and raw materials industry for over 23 years, developing extensive experience dealing with overseas suppliers, including compliance to contractual terms, product standards, and anti-dumping legislation.  Much of Stephen’s experience was developed during his regional role over 14 years as Corporate Development Director at Commercial Metals Company in Asia Pacific; through his corporate independent consulting projects; and more recently as Boardmember of the Australian Steel Association.
With numerous acquisitions and divestitures under his belt, Stephen is able to offer valuable insight from conducting market and commercial analyses externally, to working internally to gain the tactical and financial approval and ensure the responsibility of the all-important integration planning process. It is this commitment to ‘getting things done’ that has seen Stephen also develop a strong informal skill set, such as when it comes to the practice of law and navigating the often complex legal elements of such projects. Stephen’s real strength shines in mentoring staff to help them achieve their best, and therefore the best possible outcomes for the company and stakeholders.
With experience managing large teams spread across almost all business units of major multi-national organisations, to years as a sole trader at the helm PearsonsWorld.com, Stephen Pearson has carved out a reputation as a successful and innovative senior-level leader for companies both large and small.
