About Steve Caccavo:
"Been there, done that" business advice                                                 -- Joe Connolly, WCBS880 Radio & The Wall Street Journal

Steve Caccavo, the founder of Constructive Business Solutions™, provides small business advisory, business coaching, and business counseling services to startups and to owners of  small and mid-size businesses.

Co-founder and former CEO of The Well-Bred Loaf, Inc., an award-winning specialty baked-goods manufacturer, marketer and distributor,  Steve's business experience spans entrepreneurial startup, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, human resources management, administration, labor relations and legal compliance. Having grown the company from a home-based business to a niche industry leader with over 120 employees, Steve has "been there, done that" in handling the ups and downs of dealing with employees, competitors, regulatory issues, and economic swings.

After selling WBL in 1996, he launched his advisory firm, Positive Employment Practices, Inc., and now operates under the trade name Constructive Business Solutions™. He works with  service firms – including construction – where getting the performance right the first time is the key to customer retention; and manufacturers (including specialty food producers).  Steve's specialties include dealing with "growing pains" experienced by most businesses that have grown in  sales volume and employee count and that need to "re-tune" their companies to eliminate inefficiencies. 

Steve is a graduate in psychology from Oberlin College and a certified Professional in Human Resources (PHR).  He is a member of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and the American Management Association, and has been trained as a mediator with the New York State Community Dispute Resolution Center Program.
