A Recycling World Changer
Identifying a problem and figuring out a solution is what it means to be a world changer, and Kelly Hess ’97 did just that as the CEO and president of CompuCycle. Kelly graduated from Meadows with a Bachelor of Arts in communication and psychology. Her pride and joy are her husband, Clive Hess, and her two daughters, Zoey (a first-year SMU student) and Juliette.
Founded in 1996 with her Husband in Houston, CompuCycle is a woman-owned and HUB-certified business focusing nationally on end-of-life IT asset management services for Fortune 500 and mid to large size corporations. The core business is creating tailored solutions for responsible electronic recycling and secure data destruction. They are a proven leader in this industry and have created clean electronic recycling solutions, growing their services to include data center decommissioning, onsite inventory, onsite data destruction and IT office relocations.
Regardless of the service lines utilized, clients can be confident that their electronic equipment and related sensitive data found within it are permanently and securely destroyed and never end up in landfills. Their end-of-life technology solutions are ethical, ecologically sustainable, and comply with the highest regulatory standards. They are committed to providing customers with liability protection and the best possible value for retired assets, as well as refurbished equipment as a competitive alternative to new electronic purchases.
CompuCycle is one of the very few electronic recycling companies that is also a processor with a state-of-the art, fully automated, electronics shredding system. They oversee each step of the electronics recycling process, eliminating downstream vendors and the security issues that often accompany additional parties. Thanks to their e-scrap shredding services, they are in the best possible position to provide responsible, safe and secure data disposal and recycling services from start to finish providing brand protection every step of the way.
Kelly and her team are changing the world one electronic at a time.
