Cosentry Appoints Data Center and Hosting Veteran Brad Hokamp as Chief Executive Officer
Omaha, NE (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- Cosentry, the trusted leader in Midwest Data Center Services, has named Brad Hokamp as its new Chief Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Directors. Mr. Hokamp has worked in the data center, hosting, cloud and networking markets for over 27 years, working for mid-size to multibillion dollar service providers with a focus on high growth. He worked for Savvis for ten years, through a period of sustained growth, in sales and marketing executive leadership positions, with his last role as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Hosting and Colocation Business Unit. Following his experience at Savvis, Mr. Hokamp served as the Chief Marketing Officer at Telx, and most recently as the President of Layered Tech.
"Cosentry has done an excellent job in establishing itself as the leader in providing comprehensive data center services to businesses located throughout the Midwest,” said Hokamp. “In our core cities, our strategy is to operate as our customer’s local business partner in providing IT infrastructure solutions, in conjunction with delivering outstanding service. Based on a substantial capital investment from TA Associates, a leading private equity firm, Cosentry has excellent financial backing. Their initial investment and continued support will enable Cosentry to continue to meet our customer’s demand by expanding our existing data centers, provide industry leading services and customer support, and expand into new geographic markets. I am looking forward to working with the Cosentry team, the Board of Directors, and TA Associates to accelerate our position in this rapidly growing market."
