Steve Black, President and CEO

Steve has solid practical knowledge of Software Engineering principles after joining the University of Waterloo Software Engineering program in 2002.  Steve has spent the last two years away from academics playing professional poker with a tremendous amount of success. His amateur interest in poker has grown into a significant revenue generator, but in search of something far greater than poker Steve returned to Waterloo to further pursue a professional career in the software technology field. 

Instead of continuing his studies Steve has co-founded Suited Media in Nov 2006 with 3 university friends who strongly believe they have what it takes to change the world through the introduction of technological innovation into the global market place. Steve has demonstrated his truly entrepreneurial spirit by taking a risk and immediately financing the business completely by himself. Since the inception of the company Steve has demonstrated unmatched managerial skills and strong leadership qualities during the initial phases of Suited Media foundation.  Steve has helped to rapidly grow the company to a size of 15 people in a short period of 5 months.  Steve continues to oversee all Suited Media operations and drives the commitment of Suited Media to become a leader in the field of intelligent advertising and e-commerce technologies.

His role within Suited Media spans strategic initiatives, corporate structuring, and product integration- with direct responsibility for the day to day operations of the executive management team.

Steve is also an active member of the Waterloo technology community where he takes interest in communicating and networking with companies within Waterloo technology sector.
