Harvard Club Dinner with Stephen Wiehe, Head of SciQuest
One of the region's most exceptional entrepreneurs, Stephen Wiehe, will be our featured dinner speaker on Tuesday, March 24. Steve is President and CEO of SciQuest, a market leader in helping healthcare, life sciences, education (including Harvard), and government agencies automate procurement practices, using an on-line approach that results in significant savings for its clients.
While SciQuest is clearly one of the Triangle's biggest technology success stories, Steve's talk will be more about leadership than about the merits of the business. Hear the inside story of what it took to transform an e-commerce company, whose publicly traded shares had fallen dramatically in the burst of the dot-com bubble, into a successful solution provider by refocusing its business strategy and leading the company through an amazing turnaround and privatization, with backing by two blue chip venture funds, Intersouth locally and Trinity Partners in Menlo Park.
Steve came into SciQuest with 20 years of experience as a technology entrepreneur and a strong background in finance. He began his career by graduating with honors from General Electric's renowned Financial Management Program, and then became Treasurer of GE Plastics at a very early age, not an easy feat. Just prior to taking the position at SciQuest, he served as senior director, strategic investments and mergers and acquisitions at SAS Institute, which he joined in June 2000 after SAS acquired DataFlux Corporation, where he served as president and CEO.
In turning SciQuest around and making the company a market leader, Steve has demonstrated his passion for bringing the best out in people and creating a culture of excellence. On the 24th, we will learn about the "Principles We Manage By" that exemplify Steve's leadership style and created the culture that has resulted in SciQuest's winning local and national awards ranging from Triangle Business Journal's "Best Places to Work", American Business Awards' "Turnaround of the Year" to NCTA's "Software Company of the Year" and "Technology Executive of the Year".
