‘If you have interacted with the services of Steve Corsello, you have likely experienced honesty, integrity, and unparalleled competence. Steve is the type of leader a manager goes to when strategic collaboration is needed. Steve and his team will always get the job done and always put patients and clinically related partners first. I’ve been in Orthopedics for some 35 years and consider Steve Corsello to be among the top 5 I’ve worked with."

“I’ve known Steve for almost 10 years and fully respect his commitment to long-term business relationships with surgeons, hospitals, vendors, and fellow distributors & reps. Having done this for over 30 years, Steve has an unparalleled mastery of both strategic and tactical aspects of our business. As for clinical knowledge, O.R. support, and a deep understanding of how facilities truly function, Steve is second to none. As a result of Steve’s experience and commitment to excellence, Activize is the whole package. When I hear C-level administrators and Materials Management staff talk about adopting a “rep-less model” or a “1 or 2 vendor system” it’s hard to suppress my laughter at their ignorance of the VALUE that people such as Steve and his team bring to the table. I consider Steve to be one of the last great independents in the medical device industry, a solid business partner, and a true friend.”

"I was never hesitant to call upon Steve’s advice on extremity products when I needed help. Steve has always been very personable, gracious, polite, and always ready to help me. From 1995 to the present, I felt we had a great working and friendly relationship, even having met his wife on occasion. Diane is as gracious as Steve and fortunate to have a gentleman for her life partner. Not all sales reps stand out, but Steve was always one of my favorites. Steve, you are quite a man. Best Wishes to you and your Family!"

“I have had the distinct pleasure of working on several initiatives with Steve on multiple occasions. One of the aspects of working with Steve that I deeply appreciate is his forthright honesty and delivery of information in a positive and beneficial manner. To that end, and with Steve's assistance, I was able to arrive at solutions that ended up improving service for my institution. But this encounter was not a one-hit-wonder, as, over the years, Steve has proven an asset despite my movement from one company to another. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to any interested party.”
Matt A. - Materials Management/ Supply Chain Professional
“I have known Steve for the past 25 years and have had the opportunity to work with him on many consulting projects and business ventures. It has always been a great joy to work with Steve as he is the epitome of a ‘True Gentleman’ and is one talented “Sales & Marketing” professional. Steve will always hold true to his word and promises and is a rare business professional where a hand-shake binds his promises and commitments. He manages his business with the utmost integrity and honesty and it is always a “breath of fresh air” to work with Steve and do business with Activize. He ranks in the 99th percentile when it comes to the talent and expertise he possesses in his profession. I always welcome the opportunity to work with Steve on consulting projects and business ventures and look forward to our next opportunity to work together.”
