Steve Brechbiel

A Triangle resident since 1990, Steve is a strong believer in the power of effective communications and community outreach as they reflect a company's true culture.

First at Reichhold, Inc., a global producer of specialty chemicals and then at Quintiles (now IQVIA), Steve developed a broad selection of award-winning corporate communications and community relations programs.

Following his successful corporate career, Steve established SteveBNC in 2017. Later that year, he also started work as a substitute teacher in Wake County Public Schools. From 2018-2020, he received a number of long-term (12 week) assignments teaching high school courses in Honors English, Film Study, Marketing and AP History.

From January 2020 through June 2023, Steve served as Regional Director of the LifeWork Collaborative Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on assisting professionals at the end of their corporate careers with a successful transition into their “second act.”

A native of Midland Park, New Jersey, Steve attended Villanova University, where he earned a BS in Education with a concentration in English. He lives in Raleigh with his wife Linda. Their three sons attended and graduated from Wake County Public Schools.
