Steve Anderson

Steve Anderson is president and owner of Anderson Risk Analysis, LLC.  His career has had, and is, an environmental/business mix.  Over the past two decades he has pioneered multiple criteria decision-making, risk assessment/risk management techniques to analyze and compile accurate information complicated by uncertainty, complex, sensitive issues.  Planning and managing the use of natural resources and business resources is a complex process, which requires decisions that inevitably involve several objectives of an economic, environmental, and social nature.  Using sustainability science and multi-criteria decision-making protocols, has lead to the ability to analyze information and present it in an easy to understand format allowing one to see the “Big Picture” and confidently make decisions strategically weighing risks and benefits of actions prior to taking action.  This has had application in watershed and environmental restoration, multi-pathway toxic chemical exposure assessment (in the environment, the food chain, and in the workplace), process safety, vulnerability assessment, crisis decision making, emergency management, information technology systems and national security, carbon foot printing and greenhouse gas emissions, global supply chain management, organizational change, and hazardous waste cleanup and management.  His focus is on creating sustainable, flexible, adaptive operations and organizations [programs] capable of delivering green technology solutions that are environmentally, socially, and financially sound and responsible.  Another professional and personal interest is leadership.  He is a respected leader able to build highly motivate management teams focused on achieving goals and cross functional/cross cultural understanding, even amongst divergent interests.  He has used this strength over the past 25 years in another area of importance to him: working with youth and young adults via volunteer assignments and the Boy Scouts of America.
