As part of California’s leading vertical-industry Chief Executives’ Organization, ABL Members provide one another with executive leadership coaching through its confidential, professionally-facilitated, peer-CEO Advisory Board Round Tables, executive learning workshops, network of CEO peers, and expert resources.

Quality Systems Inc.

Steve was appointed President and CEO of QSI in August 2008, and has been a Director since 2004.

QSI derives most of its revenue and growth from the emerging electronic medical record marketplace, its P3 connectivity suite, and its high functionality practice management suites. The company employs approximately 551 team members in its corporate headquarters in Irvine, CA, and its other major facilities in Horsham, PA and Atlanta, GA.

Previously, from 2007 to 2008, Steve was Chairman and CEO of Omniflight Helicopter, Inc., an air medical services company, and from 2004 to 2006, CEO of Trinity Hospice.

Earlier, as COO of Abbey, from 1992 to 1995, Steve was credited with improving that company’s financial performance and, in 1995, Abbey won the Entrepreneur of the Year Award for its rapid turnaround. From 1988 to 1992, Steve held several positions with Olsten Healthcare. He was instrumental in creating the largest homecare health agency business in the U.S. with the merger of Upjohn Healthcare Services with Olsten. He was Senior VP of Sales and Marketing and Director of Operations during his four years with Olsten/Upjohn. Early in his career, he developed Detroit Industrial Clinic, cited as the top-rated occupational health system in the country in a 1980 book by Dr. Lauren Hatch.

About the Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) Organization
ABL supports the needs of its Member CEOs by providing a place for top-level executives to draw on the experience, knowledge and skill sets of their peers in a vertical industry, personal advisory board – “multi-coach approach” – setting.

The core component of the CEO Membership experience is the group Round Table meeting. Members meet once a month for a half-day with a group of peer CEOs, Presidents, COOs and Division General Managers from non-competing companies, all from the same industry (healthcare, technology or life sciences), in a trusted and confidential board room-like setting, which allows ABL Members to tackle topics and enhance their decision making and business performance. Topics include: developing and honing new business strategies and best practices, new lines of business, “A-players” on the management team, and an effective board of directors, as well as understanding trends in new markets, mergers and acquisitions, compensation, and other “hot” topics brought to the Round Tables by the Members themselves.

ABL Members also gather several times a year at workshops and conferences to exchange ideas and connect with other chief executives beyond their own CEO peer groups. In effect, ABL Members serve as one another’s business coaches within the Round Tables and are encouraged to connect and leverage their co-Member peers’ particular skills and expertise for additional leadership coaching, one-on-one, outside of their monthly group meeting. In addition, each Round Table’s facilitator also serves as an objective business advisor, offering executive and industry insights and advice.

 ABL's Chief Executive Leadership Development Round Table program is currently offered in California's Greater Los Angeles, Orange and San Francisco County areas. More information about the ABL Organization can be found at http://www.abl.org .
