Management

InStar is lead by a team of seasoned professionals whose extensive experience within the radiology industry augments the company’s ability to expertly serve its customers and to improve product capabilities.

The senior management team is comprised of John P. Wellbank, Richard A. VanEaton and Scott B. White.

John P. Wellbank

John P. Wellbank serves as chief executive officer. In this capacity, he heads the company, managing its growth and development and directing its vision.

Wellbank was appointed CEO in May 2005, concurrent with National Medical Development’s purchase of the company from its founders.

Wellbank possesses more than 25 years of related experience within the imaging industry. Most notably, he served as vice president of sales for Philips Medical Systems. He was responsible for operations, sales, marketing and new business development across all Philips Medical product lines including PET, Nuc Med, PACS, MRI, CT, U/S, Surgery, X-Ray, Cardiac and Special Procedures. Toward this end, Wellbank oversaw revenue growth, directed the business plan and fostered local marketing efforts while controlling budgets and managing operations.

In a previous role at Philips, as zone vice president, Wellbank led what was believed to be the most challenging zone upon a corporate restructuring in 1999. He managed sales for the Western U.S. with 10 direct and 75 indirect reports, representing $300 million in business.

During his extensive career at Philips, Wellbank held many positions including regional sales manager, area sales manager, x-ray specialist, account manager and installation manager, among others. He continually climbed the ladder toward senior management with each successful promotion.

Wellbank brings years of marketing, sales and operational expertise to his role at InStar, learning the business from the ground up.
