Data eXec launches to redefine data centre leadership

Data eXec, a new sister brand to DataX Connect, has been launched to focus on placing senior executives in data centre organisations globally.

The data centre industry is described by Data eXec as a "close-knit world" often dominated by familiar faces, which, at times, may limit the scope for fresh ideas and innovation. Data eXec intends to change this dynamic by connecting executives who bring new perspectives and enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of digital infrastructure. Initially, their services will be exclusive to ten companies worldwide.

Andy Davis, Director of Data eXec and DataX Connect and host of the Inside Data Centre Podcast, highlighted the company's distinctive approach. "What sets Data eXec apart from other recruitment companies is our depth of knowledge about the industry and the connections we have within it," he said.

"Our search process is thorough, precise and completely bespoke to each role. The same process doesn't work for all; we love creating personalised strategies that align with unique needs. We believe finding the right leaders goes hand in hand with strengthening companies' brands to attract them. We have an employer branding agency in house who are experienced in showcasing vision, values, and culture."

Davis also noted the underlying purpose of Data eXec, emphasising that the company is motivated by a desire to foster impactful change through data, addressing the world's most pressing challenges. This mission aligns with a broader commitment to innovation and a fearless approach to leadership talent acquisition.

CEO of Data eXec and DataX Connect, Liam Thomas, shared his vision for the organisation: "At Data eXec, we connect exceptional leaders with transformative companies in digital infrastructure. Our mission is to shape leadership teams that don't just navigate the future – they define it. We're passionate about empowering the visionaries who push the boundaries of what data centres can achieve, driving meaningful change and powering the world's digital future."

With its proposed strategy and industry connections, Data eXec is setting out to become a key player in the executive recruitment space for the digital infrastructure sector, according to its founders.
