SILVER SPRING, MD — (Marketwired) — 03/24/15 — , a provider of multi-tenant data centers and IT infrastructure services, today announced a strategic addition to the management team with the appointment of Drew Fassett as its Chief Revenue Officer (CRO).
Reporting to Ken Parent, GRID–s CEO, Fassett will oversee the optimization of revenue generation from GRID–s nine data centers.

“GRID–S success and growth strategy is being driven by a steadily increasing demand for high value managed hosting and private cloud infrastructure in addition to our expanding colocation platform,” said Ken Parent, CEO of GRID. “While we have grown revenue 100% year-over-year for the last three years, we recognize the increasing importance of the CRO role as we continue to expand and grow and we look forward to Drew–s leadership to help sustain and build upon the success we have achieved.”
