Changes at the Top at LuxConnect in Luxembourg
*, February 17, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Recent changes in the management team at Luxembourg-based data center and dark fiber operator LuxConnect will allow the company to maintain the dramatic expansion of its operations. This expansion includes the opening of a new 5,500 m² (59,200 square feet) multi-tier (Tier II and Tier lV) data center in Bettembourg.
Roger Lampach replaced Edouard Wangen in 2015 as CEO following Edouard’s retirement. Roger continues his involvement in the company as CTO, whereas Edouard was appointed chairman of the Board of Directors of LuxConnect.
Roger brings to the position of CEO a wealth of knowledge on LuxConnect’s data centers, due to his management of their design and construction. “I will put my in-depth understanding of the complex requirements of our customers at their service”, he said.
Joining LuxConnect as the company’s new Chief Business Development Officer is Tom Kettels, who has served as Senior ICT Advisor for the Luxembourg Government for the past 12 years. Tom is in charge of driving LuxConnect’s marketing and sales activities. His goal is to raise the company’s profile in Europe and North America by bringing awareness to LuxConnect’s unique offering of Uptime certified Tier lV facilities running on low-cost 'green' power.
Backing Tom up in London, Jonathan Evans has joined in a consultancy role as Director Global Alliances, bringing over 3 decades of experience in the sector.
