INetU Managed Hosting - INetU Management Team | Vision, Leadership, Guidance

Vision. Leadership. Guidance.

Great companies are always anchored by the founder's vision, they are driven to success by stable leadership and they are guided into the future with careful control. Since our inception in 1996, Dev Chanchani has mastered and applied those three tenets of success to INetU. Ajay Chanchani brings decades of expert financial wisdom to the growing company, and together Dev and Ajay frame the landscape for the company's business focus.

Dev Chanchani

President and Founder

Dev Chanchani, President and Founder

Internet hosting provider INetU, Inc. was founded on a set of personal core principles that have guided the business’ success and strong growth for nearly 15 years. One guiding principle that INetU president and founder Dev Chanchani believes is, “we should always treat our clients’ businesses as if they were our own”; and to insure that, everyone at INetU must be empowered to delight every client. While that may sound simple enough, the company's recipe for this is an intricate mixture of Dev's conservative business acumen and his fiery entrepreneurial spirit, combined together in such a way to challenge a talented team to constantly chase perfection.

Dev’s unification of a didactic business and economics background, and years of street level business practice, successfully promotes INetU’s industry respected products and high customer satisfaction levels. In 1995 Dev and two fellow students began leveraging the Internet by creating products and services that enabled customers to achieve their business goals in desirable and cost efficient ways. High-profile establishments like the United States Air Force and IBM's Global Services for e-commerce came to count on Dev for his design and implementation skills; INetU was conceived during this vibrant early era and is today regarded as an industry leader in enterprise class managed hosting, Cloud and complimentary services.

Dev has been recognized for his success as a business leader through the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year program where he has received top three honors. He holds a bachelor's degree in business and economics from Lehigh University; he has studied at the MIT Sloan School of Business, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and most recently at Harvard Business School.

If you gave Ajay a bucket full of numbers, an interesting labyrinth, and the goal to 'sort it all out' you’ll find a happy man who is squarely in his comfort zone. As CFO for INetU, Ajay leads a team of people dedicated to financial excellence. Ajay’s guidance and planning is one of the reasons why INetU has been profitable and cash flow positive for many years.

Never shy to delegate or motivate, Ajay says, "I believe that every person in the organization should manage their own job" - he wants people to be entrepreneurial and driven and he will go out of his way to provide advice and council to his team. Ajay relies on a combination of formal education and real world experiences as he successfully helps INetU achieve continued growth.

He started on his career path in 1968 after earning a degree in Chemical Engineering from MIT. Then after a decade in research and development, Ajay realized that financial engineering was what really made him happy. From 1978 to 2009 he worked with Smith Barney and Wells Fargo where he helped clients realize their financial goals, before joining INetU in 2009.

David Van Allen has been involved with INetU since our inception over 15 years ago, but not initially as our VP of Sales and Marketing. In 1994, Dave started FASTNET, one of the world's first Internet Service Providers. As CEO, he took that company from startup through its IPO in 2000. It was back in 1996 that Dave met our founder, Dev Chanchani, as he and his team were starting INetU.

"Dev and I shared many of the same values and business philosophies, especially when it came to how we respected and cared for our clients", said Dave. "When we reacquainted a few years ago, it was clear that under Dev's leadership, INetU had become a respected and growing brand in managed Cloud hosting... I wanted to be a part of his team". Dave was a consultant to INetU for a year before joining the company in 2012.

With over 35 years of leadership experience, Dave's career has spanned many disciplines. Starting as a self-educated electrical engineer, Dave worked in the broadcast industry where he designed audio and RF equipment for radio and TV stations (he was also a Top 40 disc jockey, but he says he doesn't remember that). Dave went on to writing and selling accounting software and building high-availability UNIX systems, which led to his decade-long career in the emerging Internet industry. Dave most recently spent 10 years in healthcare, which included holding executive board seats on state steering and legislative committees, coordinating and teaching simulation medicine at Lehigh Valley Hospital, and running the City of Allentown Emergency Medical Services.

Dave is responsible for the brand development, revenue generation, and client attraction and retention efforts for INetU.
