VaST was founded in 1999, and is incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our headquarters are located in Warrenton, Virginia; however, our employees work throughout the U.S. and around the globe. Though VaST is a geographically diverse company, we work hard to make sure that all of our employees know that they are part of a VaST family. VaST employees are, in essence, the company itself. VaST is 100% employee owned. We are an elite company that values our employees and our clients ahead of all else. We pride ourselves in maintaining the highest reputation within our community and are continually relied upon to solve the most difficult problems. VaST has employed a careful, slow growth model to protect our noteworthy standing within the enterprise. We strive to only hire personnel that are passionate about their work and will continue to maintain our high reputation within the industry. We are committed to maintaining an elite status that encourages our customers to rely on our unique expertise. We believe our employees should share in the success of our company in a tangible way, which is why we created an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2013. Participating in the ESOP program means that all employees are part owners of VaST and benefit financially from a job well done. In this way, there is direct incentive for employees to work diligently and take pride in their work as well as the company’s performance. Through our ESOP program, employees are provided ownership through annual contributions made by the employer. At VaST, being an employee owner means having a stable present while building each employee’s future. Our employees value industry competitive wages and the long-term investment derived from company ownership. Without the influences of outside stockholders, company performance is able to be a function of only our clients' satisfaction and our employees’ well-being and overall morale.
