OUR SENIOR TEAM
The people who serve the people who serve our customers.
Our leadership is driven to create an environment for our team that empowers each member to perform at the highest possible level.
Steven Tomlinson
Managing Partner
Steven grew up in Waycross, Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia. He founded Level Seven in 2012 on the belief that success in business begins with an exceptional workplace culture: When our people love working with us, our clients love working with us, too. By emphasizing enjoying what we do as one of our core principles, Steven has surrounded himself with a team of the highest-caliber people who are empowered to lead with their own individual strengths. He’s particularly proud of our extraordinarily low turnover over the years, a testament to what kind of company Level Seven is. In addition to his work, Steven enjoys time with his family, wandering in the woods, and making his (not quite) world-famous hot sauce.
