Steven Hess

Co-Founder, Deep Fathom

Steven builds where the stakes are highest—compliance, security, and the places most people avoid. Before Deep Fathom, he was CEO of Cloud Storage Security, a cloud-native platform trusted by federal agencies and the private sector to protect critical data.

Prior to that, he led businesses and teams across data-intensive, highly regulated industries including healthcare, fintech, and supply chain. He co-founded Deep Fathom to bring clarity and leverage to a system full of noise.

He's also a Colorado native, winter addict, and co-owner of a wellness studio in Steamboat Springs. Ask him about system design—or why he never runs unless something's chasing him.
