A Glimpse Inside the Mind of CEO, Robert Gronenthal

Bob Gronenthal is Owner and CEO of Island Tech Services, a leading provider of advanced technology, mobility and vehicle solutions to business professionals, first responders and public sector employees nationwide.

Bob is a member of my Vistage CEO peer advisory group. And from my very first conversations with him early in 2024, he talked about the importance of developing and investing in his leaders to help improve their effectiveness, support company strategy and drive results across the organization. And he is enrolling two of his direct reports in my Vistage Key Executive Group. Bob is a visionary who is deeply committed to developing his most trusted advisors and direct reports, by expanding their leadership tool kit, and equipping them to make better cross-functional decisions. His vision is compelling. With his deep, strategic investment he is developing key executives who:

-Are more effective, aligned and proactive decision makers
-Have diverse perspectives to spur new approaches to solving business challenges
-Are committed to developing their own executive presence, confidence and accountability

The Key Executive program is the gold standard for developing C-suite executives.
