Evocative has grown in a very short time from a regional data center provider with two locations, to a global data center, network, and cloud provider with over twenty locations. Through organic growth and strategic acquisition, the company continues to expand its presence to power enterprise workloads at the edge. For the past 5 years, the company has been led by its founder Arman Khalili, and now the reins are being handed off to Derek Garnier, the company’s new Chief Executive Officer.
In his most recent role as President & Chief Operating Officer, Garnier provided strategic direction and operational execution for Evocative’s global sales, marketing, engineering, and operations teams, bringing decades of expertise to the company’s continued growth strategy and enhancing its geographic expansion, service offerings and client experience initiative.
Garnier brings more than 35 years of digital infrastructure leadership to the CEO position and has experience creating and executing strategic plans as well as leading multidisciplinary, cross-functional teams during high growth phases for leading providers.
Khalili will continue to serve on Evocative’s Board of Directors and is confident in the position change. “I am privileged to have founded and led Evocative through its first five years,” said Khalili. “I have no doubt that Derek will continue to grow the company through its next stage and beyond.”
