Hi, I’m Rich Steele.
With over 25 years of experience as a senior IT leader, I have a robust background in consulting and working for Fortune 500 companies in the financial services and healthcare industries. My career has been focused on partnering with enterprise leaders to define strategic objectives, deliver business value, and enable technology and business teams to achieve impactful outcomes.
As a PMO Director, I have successfully built and led delivery teams at JPMorgan Chase, DaVita, and Charles Schwab. My focus has been on advancing process maturity, driving transformational change, implementing project management best practices, scaling agile methodologies, and enhancing application development, operations, and infrastructure practices.
My expertise includes IT leadership, strategic planning, portfolio management, program and project management, agile practices, scaled agile transformation, financial management, risk & controls, governance, organizational change management, resource and vendor management, team building, talent evaluation, training, and public speaking.
I help companies realize value by envisioning their strategic direction, defining clear outcomes and measures, and creating and maturing processes in collaboration with stakeholders that enable transparency and buy-in. I am constantly sharing ideas that create clarity, build confidence, and empower teams.
I believe in the power of positive energy, strategic thinking, the importance of relationships, being agile, and that a leader’s main purpose is to bring together talented individuals, help set a clear direction, remove obstacles, and allow the team to excel.
