Dave Stevens is the President and CEO of OPEX Corporation, a recognized global technology leader in high-speed mailroom automation, document imaging, and material handling.  Dave assumed leadership of OPEX, a private family-owned business, in April 2011.  Dave is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the company and ensuring that OPEX Values are implemented at every level throughout the company and reflected in its corporate culture.

Dave literally grew up with OPEX.  Since 1973, when his parents bought the company and moved him and his brother Mark, OPEX’s Chief Operating Officer, half-way across the country, Dave has been involved in one way or another with the day-to-day operations of the corporation.  Starting out as the company janitor, Dave eventually moved on to work as Sales Manager, and then to Senior Vice President responsible for domestic operations and oversight of the Service division.

More recently, Dave has directed the efforts of the Advanced Development Team, the department within OPEX responsible for designing and deploying the company’s new material handling technology, Perfect Pick™.  Dave has personally overseen all aspects associated with the development and launch of Perfect Pick.

Dave graduated with a B.A. degree from Cedarville University in Ohio.  From there, he studied at Dallas Theological Seminary where he earned a Th.M. in Christian Education.  Today, Dave serves as a member of the Board of Directors at the seminary.
