Jack Vonich, the long-term president of Instor Solutions, is now the chief executive officer of the fast-growing corporation based in the Silicon Valley, with locations throughout the world.

Instor Solutions, a provider of rapid and optimized data center deployments and services, is expanding its talent base, and Vonich’s move opens the way for more executive hires.

“I’ll be focusing less on internal processes and day-to-day operations and more on the larger vision of providing services and products to our customers in a whole new way,” Vonich said.

Yet, although Vonich’s new position will free him up for more big picture initiatives, it will also allow him more time to serve in a way he feels is most aligned with his core strength.

As a well-known people person, Vonich will have more time available to invest in building relationships.

“I’m going to be taking a more active role with our key customers,” he said. “This is not only in providing services, but in keeping a closer ear to the ground on what they most need from us.”

“Our industry is in a state of constant change and flux,” Vonich said. “Digital transformation is accelerating and it’s shifting in all of its forms. I will be able to spend more time hearing from our customers how we can best serve them in this moment of unprecedented change.”

Vonich will be also communicating how the capabilities of Instor have expanded greatly through the years.

“We’re going to continue to broaden our capabilities across the country and throughout the world,” he said. “We’re not just a local provider, but a global organization that can handle the needs of larger companies that might be geographically diverse.”

He’ll also be driving continued innovation in the company.

“We’ve got interesting new capabilities we’ll be launching in the near future. We’re constantly trying to evolve ahead of where the industry is going.”

The change in position will also fit even better with his leadership style, which has been described as “empathetic”.

“I truly care about people, and I want them to be successful,” Vonich said. “I believe if you get people aligned with their strengths, then they are going to do great things. What gets me excited is seeing other people do well for themselves.”

This empathetic leadership style is facilitated by his humble approach to his role.

“I know and trust the abilities of my team,” Vonich said. “It’s not about me. That’s what it comes down to. You find the right people, empower them and get out of the way.”

He added with a laugh, “Sometimes, I can’t get out of the way fast enough.”

In describing his reaction to his new position with Instor, Vonich didn’t hesitate.

“Really, it’s gratitude. I’m thankful for my amazing team. I’m thankful for the customers we get the opportunity to serve.”
