Analysis

Meanwhile Laura Farina has been named executive vice president of the Enterprise Sales team. Farina, formerly Colt’s regional sales director, has spent two decades at the company and will operate from Brussels, Belgium. Her long tenure has seen her steer global teams and help cement Colt’s reputation in customer experience management. Both executives will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Keri Gilder, who said the changes are aimed at increasing agility and aligning the company’s sales organisation with current market demands. The restructuring divides the sales functions into two distinct units with specialised leadership, reflecting Colt’s intention to sharpen its competitive edge in connectivity and enterprise offerings. The appointments come at a time when global connectivity and digital infrastructure providers face intensifying pressure to support enterprise digital transformation, cloud adoption and artificial intelligence (AI)-related workloads. Colt’s IQ Network already connects tens of thousands of buildings and data hubs worldwide, underlining the scale at which such leadership decisions could matter.
