(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — European carrier-neutral data centers operator Interxion (www.interxion.com) has appointed Eddy Van den Broeck managing director of Interxion Switzerland, where he will be responsible for driving the continued growth of Interxion in Switzerland and extending the capacity of its Zurich carrier-neutral data center, the largest of its kind in Switzerland to meet growing customer demand.
According to Interxion’s Thursday announcement, Van den Broeck has extensive experience managing complex customer environments, capital-intensive projects and strategic business development, having held senior, international management positions at British Petroleum (www.bp.com) and KPMG (www.kpmg.com). He also ran his own consultancy for several years, providing financial and management advice and support to a wide range of global organisations.
“Eddy’s appointment further strengthens our core, pan-European management team,” Interxion Group managing director Anthony Foy said in a statement. “His experience in managing large, CAPEX-intensive projects and his strong financial background will be of great value as Interxion continues its customer-led expansion across Europe.”
Van den Broeck sees Interxion’s potential to create value and quickly expand despite the current economic environment. “I look forward to leading our Swiss team to further success through the closest possible focus on satisfying customer and prospect needs,” Van den Broeck said in a statement.
Netherlands-based Interxion has also been active elsewhere in Europe, having recently reached an agreement with Scandinavian equity trading platform Burgundy to provide proximity hosting services from its Stockholm data center to provide market participants highly reliable, low-latency access. It also recently completed its latest London data center expansion, adding more than 4,300 square feet (400 square meters) as part of the company’s build-out of its data center footprint across the 11 countries in which it operates. With an existing revolving credit facility of €135 million (almost $190 million), Interxion was given an additional €45 million ($63 million) subordinated credit facility last month, bringing its financing for expansion to €150 million (about $250 million).
