Steve Trautman has been analyzing and solving talent issues for more than 20 years, first as a program manager on Microsoft Word 1.0, then as an executive during Expedia’s growth phase and now as a talent “fixer” for some of America’s most visionary leaders.
Working with executives at Fortune 500 companies, Steve pioneered a revolutionary way to identify the gap between a team’s skills and the expertise that’s really required to deliver on a corporate strategy. Steve has a message for frustrated leaders: “You’re taking a big risk if you’re not 100% sure your team has who it takes to get the job done.”
Steve is the author of three books including Do You Have WHO It Takes? Managing Talent Risk in a High-Stakes Technical Workforce. He’s known for high-energy, humorous keynotes filled with real-world stories that open executives’ eyes to new ways of thinking about how talent drives success.
