Robert Stevens
Executive Strategy & Technology Advisor
He’s seen this movie before.
Robert brings more than three decades of hands-on software, technology, entrepreneurial, and executive experience. He has built products, scaled teams and companies, advised senior leaders, and worked across organizations including Microsoft, Disney, Angel Studios, WordPerfect, Novell, government, and startups.
At invent.me, Robert is the gray-haired executive in the room, in the best sense. He helps leaders recognize patterns, pressure-test the economics and organizational reality behind an idea, and avoid expensive mistakes. He is technical enough to go deep with engineers and experienced enough to know when the technology is not the real problem.
