After leaving Intel in 2016, Steve built his own company, Possibility and Purpose, which encourages businesses to understand the exciting potential of technology—including artificial intelligence, Blockchains, and augmented reality—and to embrace those technologies to fulfill their corporate purpose in new ways. Steve encourages companies to build a better future for people by creating exciting new products and services, optimizing operations, innovating business models, empowering employees, delighting customers, boosting sustainability, and elevating work.
Now a sought-after keynote speaker, Steve brings his experience in engineering, business, and communications to help audiences understand how automation and other technology will reshape industries, transform the future of work, and improve our lives.

His book takes readers beyond the content shared in his keynote presentations. It offers a deep dive into the technologies that will shape the next decade and shares fascinating stories that illustrate the profound ways technology can be used to improve people's lives.
