Technology Partners CEO Named a 2026 St. Louis Titan 100

ST. LOUIS, MO – Technology Partners is proud to announce that CEO and Co-Founder Lisa Nichols has been named a recipient of the 2026 St. Louis Titan 100, an honor recognizing the region’s top CEOs and C-level executives for their leadership, vision, and impact.

The Titan 100 program celebrates executives who demonstrate exceptional commitment to innovation, professional excellence, and building organizations that create lasting value within the St. Louis business community. Honorees are selected based on their influence, passion for their work, and dedication to leading organizations of significance.

The 2026 Titan 100 represents a powerful cross-section of the regional economy. Collectively, this year’s honorees and their organizations generate more than $18 billion in annual revenue and employ over 38,000 people across the St. Louis area. The list spans industries including information technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and nonprofit leadership, reflecting the diversity and strength of the local business ecosystem.

Leadership Rooted in Growth and Integrity

This recognition follows a milestone year for Technology Partners, which recently celebrated 30 years in business. Since co-founding the firm in 1994 with her husband, Greg Nichols, Lisa has guided its evolution from a specialized IT staffing firm into a nationally recognized technology solutions provider.

Today, Technology Partners supports clients ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies, delivering custom software development, data and AI solutions, and leadership development services.

Under Lisa’s leadership, the firm has remained committed to a people-first approach that balances technical excellence with integrity and trust. This philosophy emphasizes doing what is right for clients, consultants, and the broader community, and has helped position Technology Partners as a stable and trusted partner in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.

Advancing Leadership Through “Something Extra”

Lisa’s leadership philosophy centers on the pursuit of what she calls the “something extra,” the qualities that elevate strong leaders into truly impactful ones. This concept inspired the creation of the Something Extra leadership podcast, where she has hosted more than 360 conversations with executives, entrepreneurs, and global thought leaders.

Those insights later informed her 2025 book, Something Extra: Uncover Your Strengths. Unlock Your Potential. Unleash Your Impact, which offers practical guidance for leaders seeking to combine performance with authenticity. This focus on mentorship and development is embedded in the culture at Technology Partners, encouraging continuous growth at every level of the organization.

Commitment to Community Impact

Beyond her role in leading complex staffing and technology initiatives, Lisa has championed community engagement through Technology Partners’ “Lives Impacted, Futures Transformed” (LIFT) initiative. The program ensures that the company’s growth translates into meaningful community support and service.

Lisa is also actively involved with organizations including CEO Forum, The Rooted Sisters, and the Down Syndrome Association, reflecting her ongoing commitment to inclusive leadership and community stewardship.

As Technology Partners enters its fourth decade, the organization remains focused on helping clients and communities move forward through technology, talent, and leadership. The Titan 100 recognition underscores the value of a leadership model grounded in transparency, resilience, and long-term impact.
