Heim has directed FiberMedia Managed Services division for the past two years, and will continue to be based out of the metro-New York area. Heim brings over sixteen years of professional, technical, and consulting experience in diverse international organizations.
Before joining FiberMedia, Heim managed global engineering for the equities business unit at financial services firm Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, where he focused on its data center and trading floor architecture and engineering. He has also managed the construction and implementation of dozens of data centers and trading floors around the world, and lead the data center practice for firms in the financial, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and services sectors.
