STEVE VERLEYE

I was blessed to spend 34 years in the technology industry and then 8 years as the
COO of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. I love spending time at the
intersection of faith and work and mentoring younger leaders passionate about the
same. I feel that God has given me these passions and opportunities to prepare me for
this role as a Chair with the C12 Group.

I have served as Chairman, CEO, COO, and Senior Vice President in public, private,
and not-for-profit companies that grew from $15M in revenue up to $2.5B, have led
multiple acquisitions and divestitures, and led teams of up to 700 people. I’ve also had
the opportunity to lead international growth efforts at multiple companies. I was
privileged to meet and study under Chuck Colson and later joined the Colson Center
which provided me with experience in a ministry non-profit. My jam is strategic planning,
alliances, business development, and growth.

My corporate experience came from Intel Corporation (INTC), Sequent Computer
Systems (SQNT), RadiSys Corporation (RSYS), and then as President and CEO of
Applied Microsystems (APMC) and Chief Administrative Officer of Coinstar/Redbox
(CSTR).

Marianne and I were married in 1977 and have two children and three grandchildren. I
graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in electrical engineering.
This makes me a neutral party in any arguments about which Texas university is the
best.
