Certified Disability-Owned Business Enterprise

Genesis10 is proud to be a certified Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE). This recognition means that at least 51 percent of our business is owned, operated and led by a person with a disability.

As the largest certified Disability-Owned Business Enterprise in our industry, we actively create opportunities for people with disabilities and champion supplier diversity across every client relationship.

Leading with Lived Experience

Harley Lippman_800x800

Our founder and CEO, Harley Lippman, is neurodivergent. His approach to leadership is shaped by deep listening, clear thinking and a strong focus on results. That focus has guided Genesis10 since we were founded in 1999.

Harley has spoken openly about how being neurodivergent has shaped how he leads. In a Forbes interview, he shared how it helps him stay focused, trust his instincts and ask for clarity. These qualities have shaped our company culture.

We believe that lived experience brings value. It creates teams that listen, solve problems and work together in new ways.

Why It Sets Us Apart

Our DOBE certification is more than a label. It’s part of how we think and work.

Neurodivergent leadership helps us approach challenges from different angles. It supports clearer communication and stronger outcomes. And it gives us a unique perspective when working with clients across industries.

We bring this mindset to every project, from strategy to staffing.
