About Us

IREON is a non-compete business development organization comprised of the highest-caliber vendors who provide a valuable product or service.

The members willingly share their business and personal relationships to help each other open doors to new business opportunities that would otherwise not be possible. This is the foundation of IREON’s success.

IREON members are based in the New York metro area and work with the major sectors of the New York City economy. Many members have multinational divisions, affiliates, and clients, and include global leaders in their business area. Several of our members are the largest in the world in their field of service or product supplied.

Steve Kirschner

Steve Kirschner founded IREON in 2016, after decades of networking. As the CEO, not only does he oversee its management, but Steve has a ‘hands on’ approach with every aspect of IREON and its members.

Steve’s goal was to create an organization made up of trusted friends who were noncompeting vendor service and product suppliers who at the onset served the commercial real estate industry. IREON now serves every sector of business.

From inception, its foundation was to be a safe “inner circle” of caring members wanting to help each other grow their companies by sharing their business relationships and contacts.

IREON has always been a “labor of love” for Steve.

As CEO and Broker Representative of Principals Direct Group, he has had an incredibly successful career as a Commercial Real Estate Broker closing deals in NYC, Long Island, and throughout the US.
