NJFX Appoints New VP of Sales and Customer Relations

New Jersey Fiber Exchange (NJFX), the first Tier 3 carrier-neutral colocation facility that intersects where subsea cables from the United States, South America, Europe and the Caribbean meet, has appointed Doug Corbett to the position of vice president of sales and customer relations.

Corbett is responsible for developing strategic domestic and international subsea partnerships for interconnection within NJFX’s Tier 3 carrier-neutral collocation facility.

Prior to joining NJFX, Corbett was VP of Allied Fiber, where he expanded the company’s dark fiber and collocation business, and developed sales campaigns across various industry segments in the U.S. and internationally. Previously, he held senior sales executive positions at Tellabs, Dell, Force 10 Networks and Turin Networks. He began his telecommunications career in networks sales at Rochester Telephone.

“We are delighted to welcome a senior executive of Doug Corbett’s caliber and results-oriented approach,” comments Gil Santaliz, CEO of NJFX. “He is well-known in the industry and is a great addition to the team. This is an exciting time for NJFX, and Doug’s breadth of sales leadership experience on both domestic and international stages makes him an invaluable asset to forming new subsea interconnection partnerships.”

“As NJFX embarks on a historic journey to create a new edge that offers customers greater control of their networks and the freedom to decide how they interconnect U.S. domestic networks with international subsea systems, I am excited to play a pivotal role in contributing my experience to the company’s objectives,” states Doug Corbett. “As the first Tier 3 carrier-neutral colocation facility that intersects where subsea cables from the U.S., South America, Europe and the Caribbean meet, NJFX’s positioning is nothing short of visionary, and to become a member of this game-changing organization is an exhilarating proposition.”
