Steve Withrow has been involved in creating market opportunities and growing businesses in the global marine science & technology (MS&T) sector for nearly 30 years. Steve launched his career in the MS&T industry in 1979, holding senior-level management positions with a number of defense-related and commercial ocean technology companies prior to establishing his own consulting business in 1997. Between 1984 and 1997 he travelled much of the world successfully pioneering the use of multibeam ocean-mapping technology for non-military applications and assisting many international government and commercial customers in developing and launching their first multibeam ocean mapping programs. Today, through his consulting company, Trinity International Consultants, Inc., Steve is focused on helping his clients identify and capitalize on new areas of economic and technological growth and opportunity in the ever-expanding global MS&T market. He happily spends the majority of his time these days doing what he truly loves, which is seeking out new and innovative technologies and creating and fostering successful "strategic linkages" between his clients and the many international suppliers and end-users of MS&T products and services around the world.
