As a Vistage Chair, I am proud to work with the world's leading chief executive organization, Vistage Worldwide, Inc., comprising of over 45,000 members in 35 countries. As a part of that network, I lead, coach, and mentor four private advisory groups for CEOs, senior executives, and business leaders right here in Colorado!
With almost two decades of experience as a Specialist with NASA and a Firefighter/Paramedic, followed by another twenty years in Corporate America as an entrepreneur and senior executive for some of the world's largest banking institutions, I have developed a depth of understanding of different cultures, industries, and business models.
My experience in startup operations has led to numerous rapid multi-million-dollar corporate growth and turnarounds that have generated outstanding profitability. Furthermore, I have served on the Board of Directors of several privately and publicly traded companies.
Throughout my career, I have trained, led, and mentored hundreds of individuals and teams to achieve their goals and directives. As a result, I have coached some of the most successful and talented people on the planet, providing me with a unique perspective on the issues and challenges facing today's leaders and executives.
With a BSBA undergrad and an International MBA from the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver, as well as graduating from the Graduate School of Banking at The University of Colorado, Boulder, I possess a diverse educational background.
As a Vistage Chair, my primary goal is to connect successful executives so that together, we can share expertise, challenge each other to think critically, and arrive at better decisions. Through this ongoing collaboration, we can build lifelong leadership excellence that elevates companies, strengthens communities, delivers meaningful results, and fosters sustainable growth.

I asked for some advice as I was struggling with the stress of trying to grow my own business, and his top suggestion was "join a Vistage CEO Group." I applied and...

I have had the pleasure of connecting with Steve through both Vistage and the PQ program. During both engagements I have experienced great value in Steve's coaching and his innate ability to listen and provide compassionate but practical feedback on any issue presented. It is clearly evident that Steve has a deep passion for this work, and I would recommend ...
Rob Kuck, CEO at TradeOff Financial
Leading a company carries a great weight of responsibility. Being an effective CEO requires a combination of emotional, tactical, and strategic skills and I'm naturally better at some than others. Participating in Vistage with Steve's mentorship has helped me to lean into my strengths while finding support for areas of weakness with a tremendous group of smart leaders who genuinely want to help me succeed. Our monthly meetings...
Shean Kirin, CEO at Dealer Alchemist
This group has been life changing. I had been approached by numerous CEO Coaching companies and individuals before I finally told Steve I would try out a meeting. I had always felt like my situation was a bit unique. We had grown the company substantially over the past 4 years and had been on the INC 5000 list for the last two years. It’s not that we had all the answers, it’s that we had a process...
Steve Bohlender, CEO at Computer Information Concepts, Inc.
Steve provides excellent leadership for our Vistage group, bringing in guest speakers on a variety of
topics, as well as facilitating our monthly Vistage group meetings. Steve has managed the balance of
letting CEO’s in the group share their thoughts while staying focused on the topic at hand. It’s a delicate
balance, which Steve manages very well. I really look forward to each monthly group meeting;
discussing with peers having common experiences, sharing knowledge and...
