Colt Data Centre Services (DCS) has appointed Hiroshige Sugihara as Vice President, Head of Asia-Pacific.

“I am excited to join Colt DCS during a period of such strong growth,” said Hiroshige. “The company’s continued hyperscale expansion in APAC, as well as its commitment to the highest standards of operation were key in my decision to join the team. I am looking forward working with the APAC and global teams to ensure the company’s commitments to the region are met.” 

 

Colt DCS CEO, Niclas Sanfridsson said: “I am delighted to welcome Hiroshige as a member of our senior leadership team. APAC has always been important for us, especially now as we look to invest heavily in hyperscale builds across the region.
