Twelve years (and 12 U.S. patents) later, he was named the firm’s first Global Innovation Director, where he was charged with creating a strategy, process, and culture to foster company-wide intrapreneurship.
Bechtel gives frequent keynote speeches to international business, government, and academic audiences, and his work has been published in the Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, the World Economic Forum, Wired, NPR, Reuters, Business Insider, and Inc. Magazine. Bechtel has also served as a director and advisor on a number of corporate, university, and not-for-profit boards.
