New Sales leadership appointments reflect atNorth’s continued growth across the Nordics

The business has promoted Sales Director Camilla O’Leary to Director of Client Management and has announced two new sales roles; a Director of Hyperscale Sales and an additional Sales Director based in Norway

atNorth, the leading Nordic high-density colocation and built-to-suit data center provider, has announced changes to its sales team in response to a continual increase in demand for its high density, responsibly operated data centers.

The data center industry is undergoing a major transformation, driven by soaring demand for AI-ready infrastructure and a growing awareness of environmental responsibility. In such a fast-moving landscape, agility in service offerings and client relationship management are essential.

To meet these evolving needs, atNorth has further strengthened its sales team with key changes designed to ensure clients continue to receive the cutting-edge facilities and services they require.

• Camilla O’Leary – Director of Client Management

Camilla joined atNorth in February 2024 as Sales Director, Denmark & DACH. Her proven expertise in nurturing relationships and building strong partnerships has fuelled her move to lead client management across the business. She will be responsible for inter-departmental collaboration to ensure company services align with customer goals and driving client expansion. Prior to joining atNorth, Camilla held a number of senior positions at infrastructure and networking businesses that honed her ability to successfully manage multiple stakeholders at a global level.

• Howard Shutt – Director of Hyperscale Sales
