The company announced his new role on LinkedIn: “Steve Showers has a proven track record of spearheading impactful marketing initiatives across diverse industries, including notable roles at Terminus, Oracle, Horsnyder Medical, and Versant. His data-driven approach and expertise in brand development and demand generation will be instrumental in advancing HiPER Solutions' mission of inspiring and enabling high-performance leaders.”
The El Dorado Hills resident told Industry Insider — California: “Our tagline is ‘HiPER Movement,’ really igniting this HiPER movement, just one person at a time, one leader at a time.” The firm works with its clients to hone current and future leaders’ skills, develop their professional potential, and make sure leaders are the right fit for their roles. HiPER has worked with numerous state and local governments in California, including the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), among others.
One of the other newer members of the HiPER team is Russ Nichols, the veteran state tech executive who served in leadership roles with CDCR and the California Department of Technology, among others. Nichols serves HiPER in an executive advisory and leadership role.
As explained by HiPER’s founder and CEO, David Morris: “HiPER Solutions helps executives at world-class organizations go from a group of individuals to a cohesive team at critical inflection points,” with the goal of rapidly improving performance in times of organizational change “through a hybrid technology and advisory subscription.”
Morris told Industry Insider that he’s glad to have brought Showers on board.
“HiPER Solutions is premised on the idea that anyone has the capacity to be impact-driven and make positive change,” Morris said. “At our core, we firmly believe in the transformative power of HiPER Leadership to positively impact the world. We are thrilled to have Steve join us to accelerate the HiPER Movement.”
Showers, who’s been with HiPER since February, said he enjoys the marketing aspect of his role but also the follow-ups.
“It's kind of fun to talk to some of our past clients sometimes, and they’re like, ‘Oh, I'm still using some of these tools.’”
Showers received his Bachelor of Science degree in psychobiology, psychology and biology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and he earned his Master of Business Administration in marketing from the University of San Francisco.
Off the job, he’s a board member with the El Dorado Hills Area Foundation, for which he’s served as marketing and membership chair. He is also the founder of the Giving Circle, “a 200-plus-member organization that integrates social gatherings with the spirit of philanthropy through inspired generosity and collective giving.” To date, he said, the organization has raised more than $750,000 for community nonprofit groups.
