About Stephen Bearor

Project Manager with 20+ years of leadership experience driving multimillion-dollar programs, risk management, and stakeholder engagement. Known for building trust, delivering results, and thriving in fast-paced environments. I’m a Project Manager with 20+ years of leadership experience guiding complex programs, cross-functional teams, and multimillion-dollar operations. My career began in the U.S. Army, where I served as a First Sergeant and senior instructor, responsible for training, budgets, and risk management in high-stakes environments. Those years sharpened my ability to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly, and deliver results no matter the challenge. Most recently, I’ve led federal programs at the General Services Administration and managed training operations at Cal Poly ROTC. In both roles, I built trust with stakeholders, streamlined processes, and created measurable improvements in efficiency, cost control, and customer satisfaction. I’m passionate about building solutions that put people first; whether that means aligning teams around a shared goal, improving customer experience, or translating complex data into clear, actionable insights. My focus is always on delivering outcomes that are timely, durable, and customer-centric. Now, I’m eager to bring my skills in project planning, risk management, and stakeholder engagement into the private sector. I thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy collaborating with diverse teams, and am excited to contribute to organizations that value innovation, growth, and results.
