AtlasEdge appoints new CEO

AtlasEdge, a leading pan-European Edge data centre provider, has appointed Tesh Durvasula as its new CEO. He will join AtlasEdge in June 2024.

Durvasula is a digital infrastructure and data centre industry veteran with more than 25 years of experience across development, finance, sales, marketing and real estate. He has previously served in a broad range of leadership and value creation roles, including most recently as CEO of Africa Data Centres. Prior to this, he spent close to a decade at CyrusOne, where he rose to become President and CEO.     

Giuliano Di Vitantonio, current CEO of AtlasEdge, has been appointed Board Chairman of AtlasEdge. He will transition to the new role on 1 July, 2024, and will continue to advise on the strategic direction and growth targets of the company. Both will work closely with Josh Joshi, who has been appointed Executive Director.  

“It has been a true privilege to lead AtlasEdge through its first chapter,” said Di Vitantonio. “Since launching in late 2021, we have built a data centre portfolio spanning 12 countries across the continent and located in some of the fastest-growing markets for customer demand. Having devoted my time and energy to establishing AtlasEdge over the best part of three years, it now feels the right moment for me to move into the role of Board Chairman.

“Tesh’s experience, credibility, and calibre make him ideally placed to drive the business forward in the years to come,” Di Vitantonio added.

“I am delighted to join AtlasEdge and lead the company through its next phase of growth,” said Durvasula. “The rising tide of customer demand makes this a prime time to invest in Edge data centre markets, and AtlasEdge is perfectly positioned to continue capturing this demand and become the continent’s leading platform. I can’t wait to get started and look forward to working closely with our shareholders, DigitalBridge and Liberty Global, building on the extraordinary momentum the industry has seen over the last several years.”  

Josh Joshi, Executive Director, AtlasEdge, said: “AtlasEdge has rapidly established itself as a key operator, capturing customer demand across Europe, and that is in no small part due to the work of Giuliano and the excellent team we have assembled. We are now entering an important new phase under the seasoned leadership of Tesh Durvasula, who I know will continue our excellent progress and growth trajectory as AtlasEdge becomes the preeminent name in European Edge infrastructure.”
