RESTON, Va., Aug. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Internap Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a leading-edge provider of high-performance data center and cloud solutions with global network connectivity, today announced that Michael T. Sicoli has been named President and Chief Financial Officer, effective October 1, 2019. Mr. Sicoli will lead all Finance and Accounting functions, Corporate Development, Investor Relations, Information Technology and Real Estate, and report directly to Peter D. Aquino, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
As previously announced, the Board of Directors of INAP has also offered, and Mr. Aquino has accepted, an amendment to his three-year employment agreement ending September 19, 2019. Mr. Aquino will serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for an additional one-year term through September 19, 2020, as part of his new Evergreen agreement. In addition, the executive team reporting to Mr. Aquino will also remain in place, including: Andrew Day, Chief Operating Officer, leading U.S. and International day to day operations; Richard P. Diegnan, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary; and John D. Filipowicz, Chief Administrative and Compliance Officer.
“It’s a great opportunity to once again team up with Mike to take INAP to the next level in 2020,” said Mr. Aquino, Chief Executive Officer. “Mike’s executive leadership accomplishments throughout his career in the TMT sector are very impressive. His background in scaling companies, M&A, team building, and improving work processes makes him a perfect fit for our next stage of development. Joe DuFresne, SVP, Finance, Corporate Development, and Treasury will serve a key role on Mike’s team as we work through our Strategic Initiatives. Joe will step in as interim CFO for one month until Mike arrives. As previously announced, Jim Keeley, INAP’s current CFO, will depart the company on August 30th.”
Mike Sicoli stated, “I am very excited to move into this executive role at INAP and to be working with Pete and many familiar faces on his management team once again. This is a great time to join the team, given INAP’s emerging position in premier data center and infrastructure services and strategy of consolidation and gaining scale. I look forward to making an immediate contribution.”
