About

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPER | ENGLISH PROFESSOR OF PHONETICS | FORTUNE 500 EXECUTIVE | PUBLISHED AUTHOR With over three decades of global experience, I bridge the worlds of international business, education, media, and executive leadership. As a Fortune 500 executive and global business developer, I’ve led transatlantic initiatives, advised U.S. and European governments, and helped scale corporations into new markets across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. I’ve proudly served institutions such as the U.S. Department of Commerce, AMCHAM, and Select USA, connecting governments, Fortune 500s, and visionary startups alike. In parallel, I am the Founder and President of Vocal Fitness, a scientific and results-driven method for mastering English pronunciation through articulatory phonetics. I’ve trained thousands of learners, from influencers to CEOs, and currently lecture as an English Professor of Phonetics in some of Europe’s top educational institutions. My method is endorsed by EF, Cambridge Assessment, MIUR, and integrated into leading language apps like EWA, Elsa Speak, and ABA English. As a Published Author, voice artist, and executive producer, my work has spanned Hollywood films, major record labels, and educational OTT content broadcast worldwide. I’m also the creator and host of “Dappersclass,” a popular edutainment series that merges music, phonetics, and language mastery—reaching millions across social platforms and streaming services. Above all, I’m passionate about building meaningful bridges: between cultures, between industries, and between people and their fullest potential. Let’s connect. Steve

Professor of English Phonetics and Phonology I am privileged to hold the esteemed position of Professor of English Phonetics and Phonology at E-Campus University as an accomplished linguist and educator. My passion for language, phonetics and the intricacies of speech sounds has guided my academic journey. I am dedicated to sharing my expertise with a new generation of language enthusiasts. I design and deliver engaging lectures covering a wide range of topics. These include phonemes, articulatory phonetics, phonotactics and suprasegmental features. My teaching aims to foster a deep understanding of how sound is produced and perceived, and its role in shaping language and communication. Beyond the classroom, my commitment to academic excellence continues. I am actively involved in the conduct of cutting-edge research in the fields of phonetics and phonology. Through my research endeavours, I aim to contribute to the wider academic community's understanding of the sounds of speech, the variation in language and the mechanisms that underpin phonological processes. Central to my role as a professor is the mentoring and guidance of students. I take great pride in being able to provide one-to-one support and guidance to students who are pursuing advanced studies in phonetics and phonology. It is a source of great satisfaction to me to nurture their passion for linguistics and to help them achieve their academic and professional goals. Collaborative work is an important aspect of my academic journey. To create interdisciplinary research projects and academic programmes, I actively collaborate with esteemed faculty members and departments. It is this spirit of collaboration that allows us to explore new avenues of linguistic research and to foster a dynamic learning environment for our students.
