Steven Cox TakeLessons Team Member Broadway, San Diego, CA

Steven Cox is the CEO and Founder of TakeLessons, America’s leading source for private music and voice lessons. Based in San Diego, CA, TakeLessons is a privately held company with instructors teaching in over 400 cities across the USA. In addition to private lessons, TakeLessons also offers turnkey music lessons to private schools, after-school programs, and corporate wellness facilities.

Before TakeLessons, Steven served as Managing Partner of Reddito Partners, a privately held management consulting firm specializing in web management strategy, web operations, e-commerce, and business development. Key clients included Cisco (CSCO), Club Med, North America, Sequenom Biotechnology (SQNM), and Brian Tracy International.

Prior to Reddito, Steven served as Vice President of Strategic Development for CollegeClub.com, the 38th largest site on the net with over 8 million monthly visitors and one of the first social network sites. Steven’s specialty was to design and implement marketing, sales, and business operation initiatives. While at CollegeClub.com, Steven started the company’s revenue department, opened up regional branch offices, and was responsible for the production of multi-million dollar business development deals. In 2000, Student Advantage, a publicly traded company, acquired the company.

Steven was a founding employee and National Business Development Director for a business-to-business e-commerce platform for local merchants, and the fourth highest performing public stock offering of 1998. He was responsible for initiating B-2-B commerce between educational institutions, governmental agencies, and their suppliers. 

Cox is a member of the McKinsey's Online Executive Panel (http://www.mckinsey.com/), an invitation-only panel of America's business leaders across a wide range of industries. He also serves as a panelist for the CONNECT Springboard program, a San Diego-based organization that focuses on providing young entrepreneurs with feedback and recommendations for the refinement of their business plan, prepare them for angel or venture capital, and to help them identify next strategic steps to accomplish their goals.

Steven graduated with honors and degrees in Finance and Human Communications from Eastern Kentucky University and now lives in San Diego, CA.

Steven has played music all his life. He was influenced young as both his parents and grandparents were recording artists, cutting several gospel albums for Maramount Records. As the lead singer for the San Diego-based band, Across the Room, Cox toured regionally throughout southern California and Arizona. The band released two indie albums - neither of them sold that well (haha). However, the band had a great time and made a lot of good friends along the way.
