CloudCoCo Group plc (AIM: CLCO)
CloudCoCo Strengthens Leadership Team to Drive Project Brightstar - CloudCoCo Group plc (AIM: CLCO) is pleased to announce the appointment of Russell Bristow as Director of Commercial Strategy and Deep Toor as Director of Revenue & Growth, strengthening the Group’s leadership team as it executes on the recently announced Project Brightstar growth programme.
The appointments come at a pivotal moment
for the IT channel.
Enterprise spending on AI infrastructure, hybrid cloud and cybersecurity is accelerating sharply, global datacentre capacity is forecast to more than triple over the next five years, and mid-market businesses are increasingly seeking trusted partners who can help them navigate rapidly evolving technology landscapes. CloudCoCo is positioning itself to capture this demand and Russell and Deep bring the experience and energy to make it happen.
Russell and Deep bring great pedigree to the CloudCoCo team. Together they joined a successful MSP as founding members in 2006 and played an important part in building it into one of the most recognised reseller and managed service partners in the UK. Across a combined 35 years at the business, they held a succession of senior sales and leadership roles across enterprise, mid-corporate and public sector, delivering solutions across networking, datacentre and cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity and workplace technology.
Their understanding of what enterprise customers need from a technology and managed services partner and their proven ability to deliver at pace and scale, exactly matches the capability CloudCoCo requires for its growth ambitions.
Russell Bristow commented:
“What drew us to CloudCoCo is the honesty of the business, strong foundations, a clear strategy in Brightstar, and a genuine commitment to doing right by customers. In our experience, what businesses really want from a technology partner is straightforward: reliability, integrity and responsiveness. That’s the culture we’re here to build on. The market is moving fast with AI, cloud and security, and we want to help customers navigate that with a partner they can trust.”
Deep Toor added:
“Technology is changing fast , datacentre demand is growing significantly, cybersecurity and AI is creating both opportunity and complexity for businesses of all sizes. What customers need more than ever is a partner who listens, understands their priorities and delivers with sincerity. That’s always been the way Russell and I have worked, and it’s exactly the ethos we’ve found at CloudCoCo. We’re looking forward to building something meaningful here for the business and, most importantly, for the customers we serve.”
Simon Duckworth, Non-Executive Chairmans commented:
“Russell and Deep’s appointments further strengthen our ability to execute Project Brightstar at pace and build a more scalable business positioned for long-term growth and shareholder value and I much look forward to working with them both.”
