In the July 11–17 issue of Buffalo Business First, NOCO’s Chief Administrative Officer Kirsti Hunt was recognized on the publication’s Power 200 Women list, which highlights influential women shaping the future of business in Western New York.

The Q&A-style profile by reporter Jacob Tierney traces Hunt’s unique career path—from an HR role at a Colorado ski resort to executive leadership positions across Western New York. Since joining NOCO in 2021, Hunt has helped lead the company through rapid growth and organizational change, overseeing the addition of more than 200 new employees and supporting NOCO’s expansion into new energy and environmental service lines.

In the interview, Hunt reflects on her leadership style, her focus on work-life harmony, and the personal strength she found after a breast cancer diagnosis in 2022. Her approach to leadership—rooted in empathy, culture, and coaching—continues to play a key role in NOCO’s success.
