Dallas-based ISN has appointed Brian Callahan as chief executive officer, the company announced on Tuesday.
“Since joining ISN in 2004, I have witnessed its incredible growth and transformation,” Callahan said in a news release. “I have been extremely fortunate to work with and learn from such a talented and dedicated team of ISNers and passionate and insightful customers.”
Callahan’s predecessor, Joe Eastin, becomes executive chairman.
“As CEO, I am committed to continuing the example Joe has set by providing the highest level of customer service today, while innovating for tomorrow. Together, we will remain laser-focused on helping our customers create safe, reliable, and sustainable workplaces through our world-class team, platforms, and services,” said Callahan.
Eastin expressed his confidence in the choice of Callahan.
“I have no doubt our CEO role is in good hands with Brian Callahan,” Eastin said in the release. “Brian is a proven leader, a strategic thinker, and a visionary. He has been my partner and friend for over 20 years, and I have seen him grow and excel in every role he has taken on. I look forward to working with the company, Brian, and the board of directors.”
Callahan has been president and chief operating officer since 2018 and executive vice president since 2013. Eastin co-founded ISN in 2001 after working in the engineering software and energy industries “to solve an industry need to track employee-level trainings and qualifications for contractors working for operators in the pipeline industry.”
“I am grateful to Joe Eastin for his leadership, mentorship, and friendship over the past 20 years and look forward to working with him in his new role as executive chairman,” Callahan said. “Joe is a remarkable person and an inspiring entrepreneur, and I want to thank him and our board of directors for their trust and confidence in me.”
ISN is the global leader in contractor and supplier information management, supporting customers in more than 85 countries in industries such as pharmaceuticals, paper and packaging, automotive, food and beverage, and mining and steel.
