Episode 12 – Christine Hipp: Writing History and Creating Space for Opportunities

​“Supply chain and procurement at a National Lab is so complicated–we do manufacture; we do R&D; we do maintain 42 square miles of facilities; we do have 12,000 employees using state-of-the-art technology... We kind of have it all, which is the problem.” Christine Hipp, Leader of ASM Center of Excellence at LANL, walks us through her life journey, and describes how she has climbed all the way up to “the Hill” to find herself a successful career at Los Alamos (LANL). In this episode, she also shares her personal experience with sustainability, digital transformation, and the challenges of sourcing and procuring for a national lab.
