Kevin Steen

ST Engineering iDirect

I am currently the CEO at iDirect, the market leading provider of global connectivity solutions in the satellite communications industry. Our solutions support the global telecommunication industry, service providers, and international government and defense organizations that leverage satellite connectivity. As an entrepreneur, I have also worked at early stage startups that were later acquired by Fortune 100 companies and also held senior leadership roles at those companies. While there are things that only experience can teach, I have proven my ability to be highly adaptable and a quick learner. I have been described as an ethical “street fighter”. I have been in a lot of tough situations throughout my life, and I have always risen to the occasion. I am highly competitive. At a young age I became a competitive swimmer and continued through college where I earned All-American honors. Swimming taught me the importance of goal setting and that hard work and dedication are essential to success. Swimming also gave me a way to constructively channel my intense competitiveness and the value of motivation. As an eternal optimist I thrive on motivating a team and rallying them behind a common goal.
