Meet the Outrun Executive Team.

Steve Hirst
CEO

Steve Hirst

Steve spent five years as CIO of a specialist broking business, leading the build-out of the systems and technology that underpinned its growth. Before that, he led a technology business working directly with broker clients. Between them, those roles gave him a clear view of what schemes and DA operations need from technology - and where existing platforms fall short. He co-founded Outrun in 2022.
