Mateo Cazarez Director of Human Resources
I had the pleasure of working directly for Stephen back in my CPG days at Coca-Cola Refreshments. I admired how Stephen took me under his wing and mentored me as an up and coming HRBP - Manager. Stephen took the time to really know my capabilities like he did with all of his direct reports and he was known for being a developer of talent. Stephen's strong background in HR and Labor Relations really lent itself to my growth and eventually helped me go onto roles of increasing responsibility. Any organization looking to add a star to their team would be lucky to have such an amazing HR Leader!
