Comings & Goings: Myers to Lead ViaWest in Texas Region

ViaWest, a colocation, managed services and cloud provider, announced the company has recently appointed Tom Myers as its regional vice president and general manager of Texas.

Myers, formerly of Level 3 Communications, will work to support and expand ViaWest’s Texas operation, which provides infrastructure-as-a-service solutions. ViaWest is a privately held data center and managed services providers with headquarters in Denver, Colo.

"Tom comes to ViaWest with an excellent track record of building and delivering solutions for enterprise and mid-market customers," says Christopher Rajiah, senior vice president of sales and marketing at ViaWest.

"ViaWest's top priority is to deliver a superior customer experience and a solution that moves our customers' businesses forward," Myers said.

My team is made up of highly experienced professionals that know how to solve complex IT issues, and I look forward to building more success for our customers."
