In a recent development, Cirion, a prominent provider of digital infrastructure and connectivity solutions in Latin America, has appointed Nelson Fonseca and Santiago Londoño as Chief Executive Officers of its Data Center and Connectivity divisions. This move is part of a strategic reorganization aimed at driving growth by giving each business unit independent operational focus while still leveraging shared resources. Both Fonseca and Londoño will report directly to Cirion’s Board of Directors.
The leadership changes follow the resignation of Facundo Castro as CEO, who has transitioned to a role on the company’s Board. Castro, a longstanding executive at Cirion, played a crucial role in reshaping the company’s direction since 1998. Under his leadership, Cirion moved away from Lumen Technologies, reinvigorating investments in data center expansion and regional fiber development. His departure marks a significant milestone in Cirion’s evolution post-separation.
The appointments of Fonseca and Londoño signal Cirion’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for top-tier digital infrastructure and cloud connectivity in the region. With their extensive experience in the telecommunications and data infrastructure sectors, Fonseca will focus on driving growth in hyperscale deployments and colocation services within the Data Center unit, while Londoño will lead initiatives in high-capacity fiber infrastructure and regional service delivery within the Connectivity division. The company’s emphasis on specialization underscores its dedication to strategic alignment and market responsiveness.
