Regional edge data centre outfit Proximity Data Centres has appointed Dominic Thomas as Business Development Director.
Thomas has form flogging Cloud and Managed Services solutions to enterprise and service provider organisations. He joins Proximity’s expanding sales team from InterCloud, where he was UK Sales Manager.
His previous jobs have included Enterprise Account Director at Exponential-e and ten years with Singtel, where he had responsibility for generating new business and high-end solution sales from European clients requiring international WAN, data networking, Colocation and Managed Services.
Thomas said: “I am delighted to have joined the sales team at Proximity and look forward to maximising the major growth opportunities that exist for our UK regional edge colocation services. Bringing services and data closer to the end-user has never been more important.
“More organisations are looking for increased reliability, better cost optimisation, more autonomy, lower latency, and the ability to innovate while keeping the lights on. These goals now require a much more holistic approach to innovative technologies such as AI, Machine Learning and IOT and the ability to leverage them effectively. Proximity’s growing edge data centre network will ensure they have the resilient infrastructure, bandwidth and low latency necessary to do this.”
Proximity Data Centres Managing Director John Hall said: “Dominic’s track record, including new business sales and proven experience in developing strategic client accounts across Cloud, Managed Services and Colocation, will be extremely valuable as we continue to expand our edge colocation footprint in key UK regional locations. Our ongoing recruitment of experienced sales professionals is indicative of the strong demand we are experiencing from international enterprise and service provider customers.”
