About Steve Draper

With demonstrated nimbleness and success across Fortune 100 industry leaders in health care, consumer products, and automotive, I’m naturally curious and enjoy leading global teams to solve complex problems. I\'m willing to \"roll up my sleeves\" alongside my team to ensure we keep our commitments to the organization. My track record of delivering exceptional results spans categories such as electronics, incontinence products, wound care, resins, compressors, and cooling systems, Some of these categories have had spend accountability exceeding $1 billion. My achievements come through the engagement of stakeholders at all levels and navigating complex business environments that include multiple geographic locations, multiple cultures, multiple business lines, and highly matrixed organizations. Like many, my greatest professional enjoyment is not from business successes but from people successes. My significant focus on coaching and mentoring combined with transparent communication results in highly engaged, high-performing teams. Through this style I have built a reputation as a collaborative leader and an exporter of talent. My passion for mentoring and coaching extends beyond my workgroup to community efforts with veterans and students in urban schools.Let\'s explore how we can partner with my skill set:
