Chris Hansen is a passionate environmentalist, entrepreneur, and innovator in the world of sustainable asset recovery and electronics recycling. As the President and CEO of C2 Management, a company he founded right out of college, Chris has been at the forefront of driving sustainable practices in electronics reuse and recycling for over two decades. Under his leadership, C2 became one of the first R2-certified companies in the industry, setting a standard for responsible recycling practices. Chris's journey began in 1998, after graduating from Old Dominion University with a B.A. in Business Administration and a vision to build a business that could merge environmental responsibility with practical solutions for surplus management. Growing up in the world of auctions, thanks to his father's auto auction business, Chris naturally embraced the auction process as a core component of C2's success. Over time, his company grew into a trusted partner for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and institutions across the country. Today, Chris continues to push the boundaries of innovation, most recently with the launch of ShredBox (www.shredbox.com), a secure hard drive destruction kiosk that combines cutting-edge technology with sustainability. This initiative exemplifies his commitment to creating practical solutions for modern challenges while offering a seamless chain of custody for clients through its web-based management system. Inspired by his deep faith in God and the belief that "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children," (Anonymous) Chris is driven to contribute meaningfully to the recycling and re-use value chain. His leadership at C2 focuses on making it easy for organizations to implement sustainable asset disposition strategies that are not only efficient but environmentally responsible. Chris oversees executive management, software design, business development, and client relations at C2, all while ensuring that the company remains at the cutting edge of sustainability solutions for businesses and government entities alike.
