CoreSite Realty Corporation announced the realignment of its Sales and Marketing resources designed to create a more efficient and effective go-to-market platform, as well as streamline the operating structure. The realignment will include the elimination of the chief operating officer role.
As part of the realignment, the company appointed Steven Smith as senior vice president of sales, effective January 27, 2014. In this role, Mr. Smith is responsible for overseeing all of the company's sales organization, including direct sales, indirect partner channel and sales enablement. Mr. Smith most recently served as a Regional Vice President for SAP, where he led large enterprise sales across application portfolios, including enterprise resource planning (ERP), big data, customer relationship management (CRM), cloud and mobile. Jarrett Appleby is leaving his position as chief operating officer to pursue other opportunities. Under the new alignment, Messrs. Smith and Warren will report to Tom Ray, president and chief executive officer. Additionally, Jeff Finnin, CoreSite's chief financial officer, will assume oversight responsibilities for the facilities and operations organizations which are led by Billie Haggard, senior vice president of data centers and Dominic Tobin, senior vice president of operations, respectively.
