APAC data center firm Princeton Digital Group has appointed Kenji Hioki as an executive advisor for Japan.
Hioki will provide strategic support to PDG in building its business as the company forms its management team in Japan, where the company is developing a 100MW facility in Tokyo.
Prior to PDG, he held a number of roles at Colt Technology Services (and at KVH before it was acquired by Colt), finishing as vice chairman for Asia and executive advisor.
"I am excited to have Kenji Hioki as a part of my extended leadership team as we build our presence in Japan, a strategic market for PDG," said Princeton Digital Group chairman and CEO Rangu Salgame. "With his experience and relationships, Kenji will help enhance our presence as a major hyperscale data center player in Japan to support the rapid growth of both local and global hyperscalers."
Hioki added: "I am thrilled to join PDG as it builds scale across markets in Asia. I am impressed with PDG's game changing strategy of building Saitama as a data center hub to serve the Tokyo market demand. I am looking forward to supporting PDG's ambitions of scaling further in Japan."
