Stephen Bashada

Stephen retired from Siemens in April 2020 as the CEO of the Siemens global IIoT business. This business was a startup within Siemens and delivered $12m, $30, and $45m, respectively. This new cross-organizational unit highlighted new sales teams and partner programs. Historically, Stephen was selected to deliver on sizeable visible company commitments like Mindsphere, representing a critical global platform for Siemens. At Unigraphics Solutions, he planned, developed, and ran the Teamcenter business. This business began as a series of disjointed products launched as a PLM platform that became a multi-billion dollar business. On the M&A front, at Sterling Software, he accepted the role of Division President and restructured the organizational unit to 24% profit.

Over the past 40 years, Stephen's work was grounded in a solid technical framework, including hands-on software troubleshooting to creating business outcomes from technology selections and business models. As a leader, he had extensive customer experience and supported hundreds of key clients deploying many variations of on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.

Stephen graduated from Georgia State University in 1992.

Finally, Stephen received the most prestigious award given at Siemens for the Teamcenter business. He was one of the only 35+ individuals selected for the Siemens Top Innovator award, presented in Munich in an unmatched celebration. As with many initiatives, this endeavor with customers, partners, and relationships laid the groundwork for a sensational career.
