About Steve Sawada

As a Senior Manager of Continuous Improvement and Change Management at King County, WA, I lead project teams that support the county\'s strategic priorities, operational excellence, and organizational culture. After 10 years in banking, where I became a vice president with Bank of America, I transitioned careers and obtained my Master of Public Administration degree from the Evans School with an emphasis on social policy. Additionally, I became a Certified Public Manager, Lean Six Sigma green belt and Arbinger Institute facilitator. I am passionate about innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement, and I strive to create positive and lasting impact in the communities I serve.
