Steve Chaf­fee, Clip­per Windpower

Steve Chaf­fee is an Engi­neer, Project Man­ag­er, MBA and ASUG mem­ber with a lit­tle over 10 years of expe­ri­ence with SAP. 

Steve’s assign­ments have includ­ed R&D, new prod­uct intro­duc­tion, soft­ware devel­op­ment, and pro­gram man­age­ment, for orga­ni­za­tions from HP and UTC to gov­ern­ment enti­ties to star­tups. Much of this work has ben­e­fit­ed from heavy involve­ment in IT as a key enabler of improved com­mu­ni­ca­tion, col­lab­o­ra­tion and pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. Steve cur­rent­ly acts as the pro­gram man­ag­er of an SAP instal­la­tion for a util­i­ty-scale wind tur­bine man­u­fac­tur­er. In this posi­tion, he sup­ports the CFO with a sys­tems think­ing approach to ensure the busi­ness is enabled, rather than imped­ed by the solu­tion. This includes work­ing at the inter­faces between busi­ness func­tions as an inter­preter, nego­tia­tor and educator. 

Steve resides in Col­orado with his wife, daugh­ter and 2 dogs, and can often be found out­side, lov­ing every pos­si­ble minute bik­ing, back­pack­ing or suc­cumb­ing to his ultra-run­ning addiction.
