Southfield, Mich., Nov. 12, 2026 —123NET, a leading provider of fiber internet, colocation and voice services, announced that Jonathan “Jon” Eyerman, 123NET’s Vice President of Sales, was honored as a 2026 “Inspiring Leader” by Corp! Magazine.
The Corp! special edition highlights exceptional leaders from across the state who are making a significant impact on their organizations and their communities. “Inspiring Leaders” have both the skill and desire to lead their teams and perform at high levels to reach and exceed goals. Beyond business success, these leaders push their teams to be contributing members of the communities where they work and live.
Eyerman’s feature described how he and his team are making a difference in Michigan: “123NET is a Michigan company solving a Michigan problem, the gap between the connectivity that our businesses and communities need and what they can actually get. Every mile of fiber we put into the ground, every grant dollar we put into infrastructure is a bet that Michigan businesses can compete with anyone, anywhere, if they have the right digital foundation to do it.
“Leadership in this industry isn’t abstract. It’s measured in whether a manufacturer in Grand Rapids or a school district in a rural county has the bandwidth to grow. That’s the scoreboard I pay attention to,” Eyerman said.
123NET advances Michigan’s internet network through a carrier-neutral, open-access approach that expands competition, improves service options and encourages innovation. The company’s non-profit internet exchanges provide faster, lower cost data exchanges, attracting both global tech companies like Apple, Microsoft and Google and Michigan-based businesses, residents and others who need high-performance, reliable and scalable connectivity.
In 2025, 123NET earned the Corp! “Corporate Citizen Award” which honors corporations that demonstrate exceptional community engagement and public service.
