IT Innovations Enabling Change

Digital & IT

Throughout a career spanning four decades, Steve Hall helped organizations utilize technology to do what they’d never done before. He held positions at IBM, Nolan Norton Co, Harvard University, and Thomson Corporation, where he applied Digital and Information Technology to solve management and technical problems.

As a wide-eyed IBM Systems Engineer for sensor-based systems, he automated MIT’s Chem Lab, the MIT Lincoln Lab’s scientific and administrative datacenters, and the real-time New England Emergency Flood Control System. At Nolan/Norton, he consulted for world class clients including IBM, U-Mich, Merck, and AT&T.

While at Harvard, he partnered with MIT and BU to bring the internet to all of New England. Also at Harvard, he introduced digital printing to the HBS Case Study Reprint business and enabled hundreds of professors to custom publish their own textbooks. At Thomson, he implemented IT shared infrastructure and networks, enabling SBUs to creatively and profitably leverage content across industry segments.

Steve has served on the boards of for-profit and not-for-profit entities, and he is a dedicated environmental conservationist. He graduated from Tufts University and his favorite pastimes are music, sailing, golf, and tennis.
