Stephen Iwata joined Desert West Solutions in August 2026 as Director of Sales, bringing more than seven years of technical sales experience and over $15M in closed business.

He spent his career at Siemens Building Technologies in the San Francisco Bay Area as an Account Executive, where he managed a $3M portfolio across landmark commercial projects including Salesforce Tower and CSU East Bay. There he built and maintained over 100 relationships spanning every tier of the construction chain, a network-first approach that saw him win back six accounts previously lost to competitors, and identify service expansion opportunities he presented directly to client executive teams.

Stephen holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, with early experience at GE Power, Kiewit and Air Products in mechanical design and electrical estimating. That engineering grounding, combined with working knowledge of California Building Code, NFPA standards and Bluebeam, means he can talk specifications and submittals as comfortably as he can talk commercial terms — exactly what our manufacturer partners need from a rep in the California, Nevada and Arizona markets.
