Impactful stories from our customers

I had the privilege of working alongside Steven Scheers during his years as a Chief People Officer & CHR, and I’ve always been impressed by his exceptional leadership style and strategic vision. Steven is a master at fostering environments where teams thrive and excel, blending empathy with a strong focus on results.

As a coach, he is both insightful and inspiring, creating a safe yet challenging space for individuals to grow. His ability to navigate complex organizational challenges while maintaining a deep commitment to diversity, inclusion, and cultural transformation sets him apart.

Steven’s dedication to his work and his ability to elevate teams and organizations make him a truly remarkable leader, coach, and friend. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking guidance, mentorship, or an exceptional strategic partner.

Steven and I were HR/CFO partners together at the FTSE100 Avast PLC.

The biggest complement is the ease of which we developed our relationship as Steven is someone who brings genuine humility and openness to relationships. I think this is critical if you are to have trust, which in itself is the critical foundation both at work and outside.

He was a great “sparring partner” whereby we constantly discussed issues and how best to address them, Steven coming at things both from a people perspective, but especially from a commercial perspective. He was very operating focused.

It’s been 4 years since we worked together, but we’ve stayed in touch, I regard him as a friend and any senior executive looking for a coach or “sparring partner” would do well benefitting from Steven’s experience.

In 2023 and 2024, I collaborated with Steven as Head of HR Operations at Napoleon. I came to know him as a driven leader who combines strategic vision with excellent pragmatic execution. What sets Steven apart is his ability to analyze complex challenges while motivating the team to achieve common goals.

His empathetic and results-oriented leadership fosters a productive work environment. A key example is the implementation of a flexible reward plan, where Steven guided the team through a challenging phase, prioritized effectively, and provided clear directives. This approach ensured the project’s success within the set timeline.

I’ve learned a great deal from his approach and decision-making skills in high-pressure situations. Steven is an excellent choice for any leadership or strategic role. He possesses the perfect balance of vision, expertise, and empathy to lead organizations and teams to success.

Steven is very dynamic, with a can do attitude who gets things done. What he promises he delivers- indeed he can move moutains and excells in swift execution. A great operator with strong interpersonal skills people trust.

He is a rare breed of HR executives, who can keep the big picture, is tough but fair and doesn’t hide behind process and procedures. He is outspoken and straight forward; you know exactly what you can expect.

He excercises his strategic role to build winning organisations with force, as HR should but often fails to do.

His business accumen, functional expertise, combined with his leadership style and solid values guarantees impact, lasting results and genuine respect for the HR function.

You want to have him in your corner when you are building a value based organisation which is to be responsive to the market and competitive. I would hire him anytime.

Steven is fully engaged and always sitting in the drivers seat while he heading for the big picture. He is the kind of guy who gets things done with a strong customer focus. It is a pleasure to work with him and he is always good for a surprise.

As the Director for the People at the Global Headquarters of InBev Steven transformed HR from processes towards business partnership, was the leading example to engage people and stretched his team – while coaching – to go far beyond past realizations. I would recognize him as a great manager and leader.
