His background includes building strategic partnerships and driving revenue growth in technology-focused organizations.

“Joe’s experience and strategic leadership make him a valuable addition to NAPCO’s executive team,” Buchel said in an announcement. “As we continue to expand our recurring revenue base and introduce next-generation access and locking solutions, his leadership will be instrumental in driving our long-term growth strategy.”

Pipczynski holds a Bachelor of Science in business administration from The Citadel and an MBA from Dowling College. Earlier in his career, he also played professional football in the National Football League with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets.

“I’m excited to join NAPCO at such an important time in its growth,” Pipczynski said. “The company’s strong reputation for innovation positions it well for continued success. I look forward to executing on the corporate strategic plan, with a focus on expanding customer segments and business partnerships while further strengthening operations.”
