Steve Beier

I build what doesn't exist and make it work at scale.Most of my career has been spent in complex, regulated technology environments where what really determines success is whether the system actually works in the real world, under real constraints, with real customers depending on it.I've led product and technology organizations as a GM, CPO, CPTO, and SVP across healthcare, financial services, pharmaceutical supply chain, and drone autonomous systems.–Career Highlights--➤ Scaled a population health analytics platform to 75M+ lives at IBM Watson Health, leading product and engineering through $300M acquisition integration and platform modernization➤ Owned a $150M+ oncology technology P&L at McKesson, delivering $50M in annual savings and building the platform foundation that enabled the Ontada life sciences spinout➤ Built software and hardware foundation for autonomous drone delivery under Walmart's $250M partnership with DroneUp, including UTM, fleet orchestration, real-time operations, and FAA Part 135 certification➤ Rationalized a 12-platform EHR portfolio, migrating viable systems to AWS in under 90 days while maintaining uptime for 8,000+ providersThe industries are different. The work is the same.I step into situations where something isn't working the way it should. The platform is fragmented. The operating model doesn't scale. The organization has outgrown its own structure. From there, I focus on what is actually broken, align around the constraints that matter, and build the systems, products, and operating discipline required to perform at a higher level.That work spans product strategy, engineering, real-time operations, and full business leadership, in regulated environments where reliability, compliance, and execution quality are non-negotiable.How you build matters as much as what you build. The quality of the system, the discipline of execution, and the trust you create with customers and teams ultimately determine whether something succeeds or fails at scale.Industries include autonomous systems, healthcare technology, oncology technology, population health analytics, enterprise data platforms, pharmaceutical supply chain, and financial services.MS Technology Commercialization (UT Austin), Management Science & Engineering with Entrepreneurship (Stanford), BS Cognitive Science/AI (UCSD).
