Leadership
Fabien Reille, Founder/CEO
Founder & CEO Fabien Reille created Steady Solutions with a vision of providing corporations with enterprise-level design-build services that embrace both sustainability and compliance.
“I’m something of an efficiency geek,” Fabien explains. “Ultimately, our accountable, transparent project management approach saves time and money while encouraging innovation and improving outcomes for clients.” With this increased bandwidth, client’s “nice-to-haves” suddenly become attainable priorities for our Fortune 500 corporate customers.
Currently licensed in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas and Idaho state, Steady focuses on exterior work—parking improvements like underground conduit installation, industrial yards upgrades, ADA, EV Chargers installation, striping— as well as interior-work including: retail upgrades, office space conversions, rebranding, move in- move out, and remediation. “I encourage my team to look for effectiveness in every step of a project—from detailed feasibility studies to the design-build process itself.” This attention to detail (and a reliance on advanced enterprise software solutions) allows Steady to focus on value-added solutions for clients.
While focused on successful client outcomes, Fabien also understands the value of supporting his staff in the office and the field by building an inclusive working environment. Director of Construction, Osvaldo Melgarejo, explains “Fabien’s openness to innovation really allows our creative team and client base to grow continuously.” Executing the vision of engineers and architects with their physical labor, Steady’s field teams also know their foreman and supervisors are personally concerned for their welfare, safety, training and well being.
As an entrepreneur, Fabien has launched, scaled and prepared two previous start-ups for successful acquisition, PurePhoto and Opendisc. And as an experienced senior executive, he has worked as a vice president of product management for JD Power and as a senior consultant for Deloitte. He holds a Masters in Business Administration from École des hautes études commerciales (HEC) de Paris (The Paris School of Advanced Business Studies) and a post graduate degree in Pharmacology from Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris.
