Executive team
Steve Hyer
Steve founded IGD Solutions in 1999 and has led it through several acquisitions and steady growth since. He insists on two things: plain English, and tying every piece of work back to what it does for the client. His management philosophy is simple: hire good people and let them do their jobs.
Outside IGD, Steve was elected to the Clarkston Community Schools Board of Education in 2001 and served seven years as its president. He has also served on the Michigan Association of School Boards Board of Directors. A FIRST Robotics mentor since 2007, he runs the annual FIRST National Advocacy Conference, which brings students to Capitol Hill to advocate for STEM education. He’s a University of Michigan graduate.

Mary grew up in Clarkston and came back to raise her family here. She spent more than a decade in PTA and PTO roles, coached cheer for 18 years and volunteers with local nonprofits. She has also worked with the United States Marine Corps as a civilian liaison, supporting families as their recruits ship to boot camp.
