“It gives me great pleasure to join AtlasEdge and guide the business into its next stage of expansion,” said Tesh Durvasula. “This is an excellent moment to invest in edge data center markets because to the increasing demand from customers, and AtlasEdge is well-positioned to keep meeting this need and emerge as the top platform on the continent. I’m eager to get going and am looking forward to collaborating closely with Liberty Global and DigitalBridge, our shareholders, to build on the incredible momentum the sector has seen over the past few years.
“Being the leader of AtlasEdge throughout its initial chapter has been an absolute honor. Since our inception in late 2021, we have amassed a portfolio of data centers spread across 12 nations across the continent, situated in some of the fastest-growing client demand regions,” said Giuliano Di Vitantonio. “It feels appropriate for me to take on the post of Board Chairman at this time, having spent the better part of three years investing my time and energy in founding AtlasEdge. With his background, reputation, and skill set, Tesh is well-positioned to lead the company into the future.”
AtlasEdge was founded in 2021 and is supported by a joint investment from DigitalBridge, a global investment firm focused on digital infrastructure, and Liberty Global, a global leader in converged broadband, video, and mobile communications as well as an active investor in cutting-edge infrastructure, content, and technology ventures.
