Tripp Hornick, Principal
Tripp Hornick is the Principal of Quince Street Strategy, where he has built the firm’s model around delivering measurable client success at the intersection of strategic advisory, operational execution, FP&A, and innovative financing through government grants and incentives.
He has led Quince Street clients in securing over $1.4 Billion in United States Government funding and letters of intent to fund.
Before founding Quince Street, he held C-level roles at manufacturing, fintech, and media companies ranging from pre-revenue startups to businesses with more than $250 million in retail value, with deep expertise in global operations, P&L management, technology implementation, and business development.
A cross-functional executive with deep expertise in global operations, senior P&L management, technology implementation, and business development, Tripp specializes in turning strategy into actionable items, breaking down siloes to drive value through implementation.
Tripp has been closely involved in shaping federal critical minerals policy. In late 2024, he co-authored with former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce Richard Steffens a critical minerals transition policy paper for the incoming Administration, and in early 2025 he authored a follow-on paper proposing that uncommitted CHIPS Act funding be directed toward critical minerals in the semiconductor supply chain. Both papers informed the Commerce Department's subsequent deployment of funding for critical minerals projects. He has also spoken at multiple U.S. Department of Commerce SelectUSA Investment Summits, testified before the U.S. International Trade Commission, and advised senior Executive Branch officials across multiple administrations, including leaders at the Department of Defense, Department of Commerce, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
Tripp has served as an officer on numerous corporate and non-profit boards with his expertise in corporate governance, compliance, and ethics.
He holds a Master of Studies in Law, cum laude, from Fordham Law School and is a Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP). Tripp is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and a recipient of its Young Alumni Award.
In his “spare time” Tripp is Principal of Quince Street Productions, where he leads the firm’s focus on producing live theater and streaming media.
