Steve DeWaters is a strategist by background and a storyteller by inclination. With decades spent advising technology companies on innovation, growth, and risk, he’s made a career of translating complexity into clarity. His debut memoir, Where Ashes Still Burn, reflects a similar instinct—turning over the pieces of a life to understand what endures after everything else has shifted.
Steve’s writing draws from the same tools he’s used professionally: discernment, pattern recognition, and a refusal to settle for surface-level answers. Blending the emotional depth of Nora Ephron, the grounded reflection of Seamus O’Rourke, and the offbeat candor of Dave Barry, he brings a lived-in voice to themes of regret, resilience, and unfinished reckoning.
He lives in Boston and makes his way to Ireland a couple times a year—sometimes for the quiet, sometimes for the chaos, and always to remember what matters more than work.
