Steve Chaparro C-Suite Network Advisor Since December 2020
Business Culture
Steve Chaparro is an organizational culture expert and communicator who speaks worldwide about how companies can transform their workplace culture through intentional co-creation and communication.
Steve is a self-described frustrated visionary. His passionate message of navigating the transformative journey of leadership resonates with visionaries and innovators who find themselves stuck in the messy, in-between seasons.
He himself embodies and defines the in-between – the bridges, the connections, and the culture – of community. By standing astride disciplines of design, architecture, culture and communications, he equips community to speak for and solve for its own needs and aspirations.
He is founder and principal at Culture Design Studio, an organizational design agency based in Long Beach, CA. He previously served as VP of Strategic Design overseeing strategy, story and business development at Visioneering Studios, a national design-build firm.
As a keynote speaker, he has spoken to in-person and virtual audiences across the country. As a facilitator, he has led workshops with some of the top tech, pharmaceutical, real estate, and consumer package goods companies in North America.
He is also the creator and host of the Culture Design Show, a podcast featuring conversations about workplace culture with top leaders and thinkers.
He studied architecture at the University of Southern California and Strategic Design & Management at Parsons School of Design.

"We were excited to have Steven speak at STORY to a room full of almost 1,000 artists, dreamers, and storytellers. We knew he'd be great, but he far exceeded the expectations of our team and our attendees. Everyone was blown away. People were clearly moved by his talk, which is rare with a room of sometimes cynical but highly creative people. He has been repeatedly named as one of our most-loved speakers, and I can't recommend him any higher."
