Ben Lanius has grown HighPoint from a one-man operation to one of Inc. Magazine‘s Top 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies. Today, Ben and his team of more than 300 employees work with government clients to evolve and elevate agencies’ citizen experience and digital initiatives.

HighPoint was founded in 2006 with the basic belief that the process and experience between citizens and government agencies can continually be improved. Government agencies quickly recognized the need for HighPoint’s unique model, leading to the company’s exponential growth.
