Steve is a talented public speaker, recognized futurist and widely-quoted technology authority who can unleash the potential for innovation in your organization when he gives you a glimpse of the future, conveys the excitement of new technologies and explains what they might mean for your business.
Advances in technology will affect the business world in ways that we cannot imagine. For example, the use of robots will alter employment levels and how jobs will be learned and structured, 3D printing technology will cause shifts in manufacturing capabilities, regenerative medicine will heal and rebuild our bodies and alter medical care practices, and artificial intelligence will manage many of our businesses. Self-driving cars may do away with the need for car services and taxicabs and may drastically decrease insurance company revenues. Indeed, entire countries and economies will be transformed such that we will be forced to alter rapidly our business strategies. The key to adapting to, and profiting from, these coming changes is to understand them.
Steve has a talent for describing complex concepts in science and technology (and their social and ethical implications) in an entertaining and easy-going manner using humor, personal experiences and clear and understandable language while drawing from his large repertoire of videos, images, and news articles. As a client said, "Your mastery of the information coupled with the exciting visuals made this a totally engaging experience...You opened a door to the future that is truly exhilarating." He is as comfortable presenting to scientific meetings and plenary sessions in large auditoriums as he is talking to venture capitalists and corporate directors in small conference rooms.
Presentations are not "canned." Technology is constantly changing and Steve's lectures reflect that dynamism. He works with you to develop a customized presentation in one or more of topic areas to meet your group's needs.
He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in biology, a M.S. in insect physiology and a Ph.D. in the field of immunogenetics and transplantation biology. Following completion of a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia he joined the National Institutes of Health, the world's premier biomedical research organization, where he had over thirty-one years experience as a researcher, administrator and senior executive.
