At NTI, our strength lies in our people, and no one understands that better than Hope Skibitsky, our Chief People Empowerment Officer. With a passion for fostering a thriving workplace and a deep belief in NTI’s core values, Hope ensures that every team member has the support and resources they need to succeed.
A Passion for People & Core Values
Hope’s experience in both human resources and the military has strengthened her commitment to core values. Among NTI’s guiding principles, the one that resonates most with her is:
“Be or Seek the Authoritative Source.”
To Hope, this means always verifying what we know, striving for the truth, and continuously improving.
The Power of Teamwork at NTI
What Hope loves most about NTI is the diversity of its team—different backgrounds, personalities, and skill sets coming together. She values how the NTI family leans on each other, celebrates wins, and supports one another through challenges. “When it’s time to work, we work. But when it’s time to take care of one of our own, we do that too,” she says.
Life Outside of Work
When she’s not empowering NTI employees, Hope enjoys life with her husband and their first-ever dog—a hairless pup that requires sunscreen, lotion, and even mosquito repellent! She also loves audiobooks, from professional development reads to thrilling murder mysteries, and helping her husband bring his agricultural dreams to life.
Why Hope’s Work Matters
Hope plays a vital role in NTI’s success by ensuring that employees feel supported, valued, and equipped to focus on the mission. By taking care of NTI’s internal customers—our employees—she helps guarantee that our external customers receive the best service possible.
