CapMan Infra’s data centre platform appoints Philippe Rechsteiner as CFO
CapMan Infra’s data centre platform appoints Philippe Rechsteiner as its CFO. The platform, currently consisting of two companies, Serverius and Fuzion (where the transaction is expected to close late October), is looking to grow to become a leading northern European data centre platform providing European-wide connectivity. Philippe joins from technology infrastructure company DataQube where he has served as CFO, before which he was CFO at data centre company Vantage Data Centers.
Philippe Rechsteiner, MBA and M.Sc. (Law)., joins the data centre platform with extensive experience from the data centre and colocation industry.
