Steve Hegenderfer

Steve Hegenderfer is the director of developer programs at Bluetooth SIG. Steve has worked in and out of the mobile space since 2000 and has seen many interesting things during this time. Nothing excites him more than seeing what crazy things developers will do next with technology. That is what drove him to Bluetooth.

A veteran technology professional with a particular focus on the mobile and embedded industry, Steve brings over 20 years of technology experience. Past roles include leading the Windows Mobile Developer Experience team at Microsoft and the Developer Ecosystem team at Qualcomm for newly emerging computing platforms (including the Windows ecosystem).

Prior to those roles, Steve was a serial entrepreneur in the startup space, working for several startups in the San Jose area. Nevertheless, he remembers his roots, and refuses to discard his COBOL 74/85 programming book.
