We are excited about our follow-on investment in this exploding segment of the Cloud ecosystem. We look forward to the growth of Green Cloud as its employees concentrate on providing a best-in-market service offering.– Annice Jordan, CFO, Millry Corporation.
In addition to securing this latest round of funding, Green Cloud announced that Walter Alessandrini, has joined the company’s board of directors. Earlier this year, Green Cloud appointed Mr. Dan Sterling, a former Windstream executive and telecom industry veteran, as president of the company. Alessandrini previously served as chairman and CEO of Avanex, which he led through a highly successful initial public offering, and chairman and CEO of Ometric (acquired by a Fortune 100). He also served as president and CEO of both Pirelli Cable & Systems North America and Union Switch & Signal.
“We are excited about our follow-on investment in this exploding segment of the Cloud ecosystem,” added Annice Jordan, chief financial officer of Millry Corporation, Green Cloud’s largest investor. “We look forward to the growth of Green Cloud as its employees concentrate on providing a best-in-market service offering.”
Green Cloud recently announced expansion plans into four new markets: South Florida, Greater Atlanta, the Gulf Coast and the Research Triangle region of North Carolina. The company uses no direct sales force, a unique distribution model for the cloud industry. By partnering with local consultants, IT managed service providers, and PBX distributors, Green Cloud enables its partners to leverage the benefits of Cloud technologies without making the substantial investments necessary to deploy fully-redundant Cloud services.
