On May 1st, 1991, Paul Milo Jr. and George Tyson set out to create a company that would deliver superior systems engineering solutions to the rapidly expanding IT needs of the late 20th century. This “two-man operation in a one-man office” in Northern Virginia quickly evolved into a vibrant company with a globally enviable reputation as a worldwide provider of reliable, yet low cost, high-yield solutions. From that one room came a company that meets clients wherever and whenever clients need them; that is Hyperion.

For over three decades, Paul and George trekked around the globe to make Hyperion what it is today. From the frozen Aleutian Islands, to the arid deserts of the Middle East, to the bustling metropolises of Europe, and to the islands of Hawaii and Okinawa, Paul and George made a name for themselves in the hyper-competitive business corridor of the Washington D.C. Metro Area.

The name Hyperion comes from the Greek Titan of the same name who represents light, wisdom, and watchfulness. At Hyperion Inc., those values are our mission statement. We light the path forward, guided by the wisdom of those who’ve come before us, with watchfulness toward the future. Although we are living in a time of uncertainty, we are undaunted and confident in these principles. Hyperion continues to grow and thrive, despite all odds, because of the people who work tirelessly to provide our clients the quality of care and work with these values as our backbone.

As the Greek Proverb goes, “a society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.” Paul and George lived this mantra, as do those of us who continue their vision.
