Brendon Steele

Future 500

Vice President

Brendon is a natural bridge builder. Growing up with one foot in the progressive San Francisco Bay Area and the other in a conservative oil family, he’s been finding common ground in uncommon places his entire life – he can speak the language of a variety of disciplines and translate between them. Brendon is Future 500’s resident lead on all things energy and climate. He’s also known as the office’s Human Wikipedia, quick with the facts on everything from military history to Star Trek. His favorite thing about working for Future 500 is being exposed to the inner workings of vastly different organizations. From Fortune 500 boardrooms to the front lines of advocacy campaigns, he loves peeling back the layers and observing how people from different perspectives see the world and make decisions, all with an eye toward building common ground. He holds a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of California, Davis and a Masters in Climate and Society from Columbia University. His home base is San Francisco, where you can find him enjoying good food, Civil War documentaries, and Star Trek – lots of Star Trek.
