Walk-on to scholarship athlete. Through injuries and addiction that would have ended most careers. Tim Stein turned that grit into the C-suite.
It's easy to see a CHRO and assume the climb was clean. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the real journey, from walk-on to scholarship athlete at the University of Pittsburgh, fighting through injuries and addiction that would have shattered most people's faith. That same grit carried Tim from sales floors into HR leadership at DICK'S Sporting Goods and now American Addiction Centers, where he serves as Chief Human Resources Officer.
Who he is: Tim is the Chief Human Resources Officer at American Addiction Centers. He didn't take a smooth path, he fought through injury and addiction, going from college walk-on to the C-suite on grit alone.
What he does: He leads people through complex transformations and builds people-first culture in a multi-site healthcare environment.
What he believes: In teamwork, accountability, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence, and that supporting mental health and recovery belongs at the center of the workplace, not the margins.
How he works: From lived experience. Tim brings recovery, resilience, and a people-first conviction to leading culture where the work is personal.
