Steve Hechtman is the president, CEO, and founder of Inductive Automation. Prior to starting the company in 2003, Steve had 25 years of experience as a control system integrator, including at Calmetrics Company, a prominent control systems integration company in Northern California, which he co-founded in 1988 and became president/CEO of in 2000.
