(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Dark fiber optic and telecommunications solutions provider Cross River Fiber announced on Thursday it has named Mike Sevret as executive vice president and chief strategy officer and Jim Martini as chief financial officer.
Launched in June 2011, Cross River Fiber designs, constructs and manages carrier independent dark fiber optic routes throughout the State of New Jersey.
Sevret joins the company’s management team from Optimum Lightpath, where he served as the company’s regional vice president of sales. He has more than a dozen years of experience in the telecommunications network service provider industry.
Martini previously served as the CFO of dark fiber provider 4Connections.
The addition of Sevret and Martini to Cross River Fiber’s management team strengthens the company’s philosophy, culture, and existing expertise in supporting the next generation of broadband growth.
Sevret, Martini and Cross River Fiber president and CEO Vincenzo Clemente all hail from 4Connections, before being sold in 2008 to Optimum Lightpath.
In the past two years, the New Jersey market has experienced an immense surge in network that can be attributed to the growing financial services market, government, education, and healthcare sectors that leverage the state’s cost-effective power and real-estate resources to support increased reliability on IT infrastructure.
“Cross River Fiber was founded to serve the specific needs of companies requiring custom designed, diverse, and alternative high bandwidth fiber optic solutions,” said Clemente. “As we build deeper into the market, I am thrilled to reunite with Mike Sevret and Jim Martini who have proven their ability to understand the needs of customers and effectively deliver solutions to fulfill them. Both Mike and Jim will play integral roles in the future growth of Cross River Fiber.”
Cross River Fiber is currently designing 160 new route miles of fiber optic network throughout the state of New Jersey.
The company’s network design acumen promises to deliver diversity and the lowest latency by traversing the shortest path between each end-point effectively using the public right of way.
Cross River Fiber’s targeted priority dark fiber builds include routes to key carrier hotels, data centers and financial exchanges in over a dozen Garden State locations, including high-traffic hubs in the cities of Secaucus, Clifton, Nutley, North Bergen, Newark, Carteret, Edison, Piscataway, Somerset, Rochelle Park, and Totowa, NJ.
