Colin Steele is a seasoned technology executive and operator who compresses decade-scale medical-device development cycles into months while cutting costs by an order of magnitude. As a former AOL early employee and co-architect of AIM, he transitioned from building high-scale consumer systems to leading FDA-facing digital therapeutics and diagnostics at Dexcom, including the Smart Basal program and core features of Stelo used by 140,000+ users. He combines hands-on coding fluency with regulatory rigor—equally fluent in cache invalidation and FDA validation—and has led cross-functional teams of PhD signal processors, data scientists, and full-stack engineers. Colin has led startups through acquisition (TypeZero → Dexcom), managed multi-million-dollar budgets, and instituted QMS/AS9100 transitions and rapid innovation processes. His unconventional detours through hospitality and food service inform a practical, user-centered perspective that helps him spot solutions others miss. Now based in Charlottesville, he focuses on the intersection of biosensing, digital therapeutics, and AI-driven insights while continuing to build teams that ship the “impossible.”
