Steph Jeuken

Welcome to EAI Projects! I'm Steph Jeuken, founder and principal consultant. Since 2018, I've been steering both expansive IT projects and vital niche tasks from chaos to clarity. With over 25 years of experience, I specialise in integrating sophisticated IT solutions within state and local governments and the private sector. My expertise also extends to addressing critical gaps in projects—whether due to complexity or a lack of in-house skills—ensuring every detail receives the attention it deserves. My educational background includes a degree in Economics and a master's in Information Systems Technology from Carnegie Mellon.

My approach goes beyond conventional project management. I engage deeply with stakeholders to navigate and align diverse needs towards unified, actionable goals. I'm adept in business analysis, IT systems implementation, and design thinking, which allows me to deliver solutions that are both technically sound and finely tuned to organisational nuances and requirements.

Beyond project work, I am passionate about education and engagement. I deliver bespoke training programs, speak at workshops, and facilitate large interactive conferences for peak bodies, enhancing professional development and industry knowledge across the board.

Outside of the professional arena, I am a dedicated gym enthusiast and a mother of three, plus a spirited canine sidekick. I advocate for a balanced lifestyle that values health, outdoor adventures, and continuous personal growth. Energising teams and individuals alike, I aim to inspire new ideas and motivate towards innovative solutions. Together, we’re not just solving problems; we’re setting new benchmarks for success.
