Location: Nebraska Club
Description: Steve Kiene, Managing Principal of Nebraska Global, is an experienced entrepreneur, leader, senior executive, and strategist with over 20 years of experience in the IT industry. He started his first successful software company when he was 17 and has been an advisor, mentor, and investor in numerous software startups. Steve will speak to the club about how to integrate volunteering into a new or established business in a way that will actually improve employee productivity, which should in turn impact the community and the employee personally as well. In this context, “profit”, although important, becomes less important as the only metric of success.

Steve currently serves on the board of advisors and volunteers as an adjunct instructor at the Raikes School of Computer Science and Management, helping lead the Design Studio learning experience. He established and serves as director of The Kiene Family Foundation, which is dedicated to improving lives of all Nebraskans through support of non-profit organizations. The foundation recently announced a gift of $1,000,000 to NET for their Inspire Nebraska campaign.
