Chris Lee’s journey in technology defies the typical trajectory. With more than 15 years in IT leadership spanning manufacturing, fashion, entertainment, and hospitality, Chris has developed an approach that uniquely blends technical prowess with practical, accessible solutions for any business environment. His resume includes leading IT initiatives at celebrated brands like Happiest Baby Inc., Rastaclat, and Trina Turk Clothing, while his consulting reach extends from blue-collar industries to elite entertainment circles. This breadth of experience has fostered in Chris a rare ability: translating complex tech challenges into clear, actionable insights for decision-makers across any industry.
Rather than a standard computer science background, Chris graduated from UCLA with a degree in Philosophy. His early days in tech were hands-on, spent climbing telephone poles and pulling cable before earning advanced IT certifications and settling into an executive office. This unconventional start shaped his understanding of technology as an empowering force, leading him to dedicate his career to making tech accessible for everyone, particularly the underserved.
This vision took form with the founding of Hexpistol Inc., a company driven to “democratize” technology. Through Hexpistol, Chris strives to deliver enterprise-level IT resources to startups, nonprofits, and small businesses that are too often overlooked in the digital revolution. He champions digital literacy and inclusivity by partnering with organizations like the National Black Staffing Network, where he offers workshops on tech literacy and cybersecurity for emerging risks.
Chris believes that today’s digital landscape should be navigable by anyone—no matter their background. His mission remains unwavering: to make technology an empowering tool, equipping individuals and businesses alike to thrive in a connected world.
