Who is CyrusOne's New Europe Managing Director?

CyrusOne today announced that it has promoted Andreas Paduch to Managing Director, Europe, in a move that strengthens the company's regional management team.

The role also sees him join the company's Global Executive Team as it expands its cloud and AI infrastructure footprint across the continent.

Previously Europe Head of Sales, Andreas now takes responsibility for CyrusOne's European growth strategy.

He oversees the company's hyperscale data centre business across key markets while leading the regional leadership team.

His remit also includes strengthening relationships with customers, investors and policymakers, alongside developing partnerships with utility providers as the demand for high-performance digital infrastructure increases.

Supporting European expansion

The promotion reflects CyrusOne's focus on scaling its European operations as hyperscale customers continue investing in digital infrastructure to support cloud services and AI workloads.

Announcing the appointment, Eric Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of CyrusOne, says: "Andreas has demonstrated strong leadership and made a significant impact across our European business, making him a natural choice for this role.

"As CyrusOne enters its next phase of growth, delivering at scale requires disciplined execution and leadership with a deep understanding of customer needs and complex, mission-critical environments.

"We are focused on expanding our business across Europe and building the expertise needed to support the next generation of cloud and AI infrastructure."

Building on hyperscale experience

Andreas joins the role after leading CyrusOne's European sales strategy since 2022, where he expanded hyperscale partnerships and strengthened customer relationships across the region.

Before joining the company, he spent two decades at CBRE, building experience across international real estate markets.

According to CyrusOne, that combination of European market knowledge and customer engagement positions Paduch to lead the company's continued expansion, with a focus on delivering infrastructure that meets evolving customer requirements at scale.

Commenting on his appointment, Andreas Paduch, Managing Director, Europe, CyrusOne, says: "The opportunity ahead for Europe is tremendous.

"I've had the privilege of working alongside an exceptional team, and I'm excited to continue building on what we've achieved together.

"Our focus remains simple: listening to our customers, delivering operational excellence, developing our people and building the infrastructure that will power Europe's digital future."

Andreas' appointment places experienced hyperscale leadership at the very core of CyrusOne's strategy as the company continues to expand its data centre presence across Europe.
