At New Resources Consulting, we have always believed that true leadership shines brightest when it lifts others up, and few embody this better than our Director of IT, Chris Hippensteel.

On Monday, June 23, BizTimes Media will honor Chris as one of this year’s Notable Leaders in STEM, a recognition that highlights his dedication to advancing technology, strengthening cybersecurity, and fostering a culture of curiosity and community at NRC and beyond.

While BizTimes will share Chris’s professional story in their own words, we want to take a moment to share why we feel so fortunate to work alongside him every day:

  • He’s an advocate for making technology accessible and secure for everyone.
  • He leads by example – whether he’s coordinating major infrastructure upgrades or hosting Lunch and Learns on how to spot the latest cyber threats.
  • He gives back. From launching an ASL workshop to organizing local motorcycle charity rides, Chris finds ways to bring people together for good.

For our clients, colleagues, and community partners, this recognition is simply confirmation of what we already know: Chris makes NRC stronger, safer, and a better place to grow.

Please join us in congratulating Chris on this well-deserved honor, and learn more about his leadership journey in his BizTimes feature.
