Movers & Shakers
Colt Data Centre Services announced the appointment of Quy Nguyen as CEO, effective immediately, the company said. Nguyen had served as acting CEO since April 2026, following the retirement of Niclas Sanfridsson, and was appointed to the permanent role after a comprehensive succession process the company said underscored the board's confidence in his leadership and vision.
Nguyen has held a number of senior leadership positions since joining Colt DCS in 2016, according to the company, leading teams across sales and marketing, customer experience, design and delivery. Most recently, as chief sales officer, he played a role in accelerating growth by strengthening the company's commercial strategy and deepening customer relationships, Colt DCS said. Before joining the company, Nguyen held senior leadership roles spanning finance, strategy and general management, giving him experience scaling businesses and delivering sustainable growth, according to the announcement.
As CEO, Nguyen will lead Colt DCS through its next stage of growth, with a focus on scaling the company's global platform and supporting customers' evolving digital infrastructure needs, the company said. Colt DCS has nearly 800 megawatts of capacity under development across key global markets, according to the announcement, positioning it to support growing demand for digital infrastructure driven by continued cloud adoption and expanding AI workloads across Europe and Asia.
Tim Cohen, chairman of Colt DCS, said Nguyen's leadership through a period of transformation made him the clear choice for the role. "Quy has demonstrated exceptional leadership during a period of significant growth and transformation for Colt DCS. His deep understanding of our customers, our people, and our business, combined with his strategic vision and proven track record of execution, made him the outstanding choice to lead the company," Cohen said. "As demand for digital infrastructure continues to accelerate globally, we are confident that Quy will build upon our strong foundations and position Colt DCS for continued long-term success."
Nguyen said he was honored to take on the role at a pivotal moment for the industry. "I am honoured to be appointed CEO of Colt DCS at such an exciting time for our company and industry. We have built a strong track record for delivering world-class digital infrastructure, fostering trusted customer relationships, and executing ambitious growth plans across key markets," he said. "I look forward to working alongside our talented teams around the world to build on our strong foundations, expand our global platform, and deliver long-term value for our customers, partners, and stakeholders."
