Bechtel also serves as an adjunct professor teaching corporate innovation at the University of Notre Dame.
From 2020‑2025, he served as Chief Futurist for Deloitte Consulting, founding and directing NExT, a global research studio that advised the boards, C‑suites, and tech teams of the world's most successful organizations.
