Steven Kirch
After more than 25 years as a successful manager and leader in high-tech, Dr. Steven Kirch now focuses his passion for people, process, and organizations on helping entrepreneurs elevate their businesses. His PROtivity™ Growth System is a unique blend of enhancing profit, accelerating productivity, and building robust business processes for scale—all aimed at helping clients reach their business goals and live the life they envisioned when they began.
Having honed his skills over three decades at IBM and Intel—two of the most process-driven firms in the world—Dr. Kirch developed his own Business Operating System for Scale (BOSS), drawing on the works of Harnish and Wickman. He has successfully implemented this system in more than 20 organizations. The Catipult Razor™ Program is a natural extension of this work, featuring AI-driven KPIs and a Rhythm of Implementation. With over 20 years as a certified facilitator of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®, he collaborates with clients to develop methodologies that overcome barriers to their success.
Additionally, Dr. Kirch serves on the Board of Directors for The Gratitude Network (www.gratitude-network.org), a leadership development organization that supports social entrepreneurs around the world, enabling the growth of innovative companies that positively impact children and youth globally.
Dr. Kirch also has a passion for music and sings with the San Francisco-based a cappella chorus, the Fog City Singers. He has appeared on stage in local theater productions, and when not engaged in music, he enjoys cycling and golfing. He has been married to his wife, Donna, for over 40 years, and they have two wonderfully intelligent and talented daughters who are making their own way in the world.
