Big Stone Publishing grew over 300% and prospers today

“Paula Stepp is all business. For 28 years I worked side by side with her as she rose through the management ranks to become a key leader at my Carbondale-based publishing company. Stepp steered the business through the 2008 recession, a time when many companies failed. Thanks to her crisp fiscal management, team approach, loyalty and organizational skills, Big Stone Publishing grew over 300% and prospers today.

A superb leader and a key member of our management team

“Would I trust Paula Stepp with the business of Garfield County? Without question. As circulation director at Climbing Magazine, Paula was responsible for half the revenue of the magazine. She was a superb leader and a key member of our management team. Paula knew the numbers from the ground up, but more importantly, she understood their impact on our customers, employees and suppliers, and on our ability to thrive as a business.”
