Every business has a story, tell us yours.
In 1990, sisters Annette and Victoria Quintana founded the company that would evolve into what Istonish is today. Their initial vision and dedication to creating an organization that was built on service, excellence and unbendable ethics, has led them from assisting companies and governmental agencies in finding the best technology talent, to now building and delivering IT solutions.

Istonish is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, but our reach is nationwide. A privately held company, Istonish’s clients span a diverse sampling of industries: Government entities, medical, energy, telecommunications, oil and gas, as well as small organizations and Fortune 15 companies.

No one likes to brag about their business, but if you HAD TO . . .
One very important value that Istonish possesses, is to give back to the communities in which we do business. This includes aligning gifts and activities to support initiatives that are important, not only to our customers, but our employees as well. Whether we are donating time, money or equipment, Istonish is pleased to be a generous and supportive company.

We learn from our mistakes, especially in business. Give us some words of wisdom.
Be honest and treat everyone with respect.

Share the best advice you ever received.
Ignore your teeth and they’ll go away (LOL).

Describe your perfect day off.
Having nothing planned – weather permitting a good book in the sun.

What might someone be surprised to know about you?
I joined Istonish in Denver as the first full-time employee and that was 25 years ago. We now have over 90 employees and are a multi-million dollar organization.

Together we are stronger. Tell us something you like about being our client.
The flexibility and cost in being a virtual client along with having a great support staff.

If you could work anywhere under the sun, where would you choose?
As a virtual client and with the technology today I can work anywhere. I would choose at my lake home in WI during the spring, summer and fall and AZ or CA in the winter.
