Prior to The Right Profile, Sterling worked for Disney in information technology where he created an early niche in business intelligence developing company reporting strategies and executive dashboards. Sterling started out as the first member of a department that under his leadership grew to a team of 15. While working on numerous corporate technical projects, Sterling became convinced that the reasons many projects failed was not because of the technology used, but because the people involved in the project had not been properly understood. Sterling then developed a keen interest in organizational and social psychology, and after becoming certified in psychological exams and becoming a member of SHRM, worked with human resources and organizational development at Disney. Seeking to do more, he then went to work with Disney marketing to help them better understand the integration of marketing metrics, psychology, psychographics, strategies and corporate partnerships.
