ATLANTA, June 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GIGA Data Centers is pleased to announce the appointment of David Shepard as Chief Revenue Officer. David is responsible for all revenue-generation strategy and execution. His duties include overseeing the sales, marketing, and partner channel teams to execute the company’s strategy and achieve its revenue goals.

"David is an experienced sales leader with a proven track record for growing revenue as well as building and coaching global data center teams. Among many qualified candidates, David stood out as the ideal person to help lead GIGA through our next stage of growth.
