DeWITT, N.Y. — MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, recently welcomed Kyle Pipes to the organization as its chief growth & development officer. He started in his position on July 1. 

Pipes brings MACNY experience in helping develop organizational culture. He is especially skilled at assisting organizations through assessment and development of relational habits, leadership, healthy systems, and organizational practices, the association said. Prior to building his own coaching and consultancy business, Pipes gained relevant experience developing energy projects with hospitals, universities, and major corporations. In that role, he worked with a number of current MACNY member companies.

Pipes’ expertise will continue to round out MACNY’s executive-level leadership offerings, with an emphasis on building and maintaining healthy workplace cultures, MACNY President and CEO Randy Wolken, contended. “We are excited to bring Kyle on to the team to expand our workplace development offerings. Kyle brings a unique perspective that will assist our membership in gaining a competitive advantage and operating more effectively,” Wolken said in a June 13 news release.

Pipes said he is excited to get to work, “Central New York is positioned for a dynamic future. I look forward to working with such a vast network of talented leaders to achieve this together. MACNY is doing inspiring work and I am grateful to be joining the team,” Pipes said in the release.

The first training Pipes will facilitate in his new role is titled: “Listening So Others Feel Heard,” which will take place on July 26 and Aug. 2 from 9-11 a.m. This training is designed to reinforce the value of listening, teach four practical habits to improve as a listener, and give insight into designing and structuring teams, meetings, and environments for deeper listening, MACNY said.
