Having Jason complement our talented IT group with his vast business<br>experience is a real opportunity to amplify the impact technology has on our results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Stein\u2019s years of focusing on customer and user experience is a passion he brings to this<br>new role. He has experience working with customers, vendors and employee-owners at all levels<br>of the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cI believe customers will make choices based on their experiences, which are driven by<br>people, process and technology,\u201d Stein said. \u201cWe have a fantastic IT department, and I\u2019m thrilled<br>at the opportunity to work with them as we transform our business. The pace of technological<br>change is accelerating along with the experience customers, vendors and employee-owners<br>expect \u2014 I can\u2019t think of a more exciting time to be part of our IT team as we transform from a<br>traditional box-in, box-out company to one that delivers experiences through Border States\u2019<br>services and solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Stein joined Border States in May 1995 as a Management Trainee. He worked in various<br>customer- and vendor-facing positions and was named Executive VP Sales and Marketing in 2018. Stein is also involved in numerous industry organizations, including those focused on<br>supporting technological innovation throughout the electrical distribution industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Border States supplies products and services to construction, industrial and utility<br>customers. The 100% employee-owned company is rated the sixth largest electrical distributor in<br>the United States by Electrical Wholesaling magazine. Border States has more than 3,200<br>employee-owners and 120 branches in 29 states. The Branch Support Center (corporate office) is<br>located in Fargo, North Dakota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"116\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image001.jpg?resize=300%2C116&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jason Stein Named Chief Information Officer at Border States\" class=\"wp-image-59281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image001.jpg?resize=300%2C116&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image001.jpg?w=716&amp;ssl=1 716w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FARGO, ND &#8211; Jason Stein has been named Chief Information Officer at Border States.Stein previously held the role of Executive VP Sales and Marketing and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":59281,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2941],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.9 (Yoast SEO v24.5) -
