⚡️ The Snapshot: I specialize in translating complex visions into high-stakes operational reality. From early-stage startups to global tech leaders, I have spent my career navigating ambiguity where communication and alignment are the primary levers for change. I bridge the gap between cross-functional disciplines to build the strategic frameworks necessary to move from execution-heavy tasks to high-value, measurable outcomes. 🗽 My current mission: I lead programs at the intersection of cutting-edge tech, urban infrastructure, and large-scale threat mitigation. Currently, I lead a team leveraging Google Cloud’s advanced AI, security, and data ecosystems to safeguard the social services of 8.3 million New Yorkers—modernizing legacy systems into resilient, high-impact solutions that enable the future of urban cybersecurity. In the in-between moments, I am a career and business coach dedicated to helping high-achievers translate their experience into a clear roadmap for what’s next. 🚀 How I Help (Coaching & Advisory) I bridge the gap between "dreaming it," "doing it" and "driving the outcome." Together, we build a career narrative that isn’t just qualified—it’s essential. ◦ The Roadmap: Translating messy, multi-disciplinary experience into a clear directional strategy. ◦ The Narrative: Helping you nail the art of high-impact storytelling to unlock your next chapter. ◦ The Action: Turning big vision into executed realities. 👉🏼 Let’s build your next chapter together. Book time with me: https://topmate.io/stephiem/ 🗺️ The Backstory (How I Got Here) I didn’t start with a perfect blueprint. Early in my career, I found myself in a new city with a professional network that had zero ties to the tech industry I was determined to enter. I broke in by joining an early-stage startup in NYC. Immersed in the grit of the tech ecosystem, I learned how to build strategic relationships, translate vision across disciplines, and move fast in high-stakes environments. That relentless focus on digital transformation eventually led me to big tech, where I now scale solutions that impact millions. I’m on a mission to shape the future of how we live, work, and thrive through technology—and I want to equip more people to do the same.
