As President, CEO, and Founder of Nasoni, Steve Waddell has an innovative and entrepreneurial background with over 39 years of experience in business, engineering, leadership, and management. From building nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines with Newport News Shipbuilding to contributing heavily to the growth of Reed Integration, Inc, a small business (owned by his wife) into a multi-million-dollar government consulting business, he has developed extensive skills in leading and managing people while managing risk, budget, schedule, and stakeholder expectations. 

His desire to make a bigger impact on people’s lives as well as the environment led him to develop an innovative bathroom faucet that saves water while improving functionality. Today, the resulting product, Nasoni’s award-winning fountain faucet, is an industry-leading bathroom faucet known for product innovation and customer satisfaction. And this past June, he received a Phase I SBIR Grant from the National Institutes of Health for $259,015 to develop a smart, sensor fountain faucet to enable those living with spinal cord injury to live more independently.   

A seasoned entrepreneur, he is focused on building key investor relationships and disrupting a highly competitive market. His strong work ethic, results-driven nature, and unique ability to identify improvement opportunities and transform them into functional solutions allow him to accomplish even the most aggressive objectives.
