Simon’s onboarding coincides with the establishment of state of the art ZE European data centres in Germany and The Netherlands and the launch of ZEMA 5. The new data centres, like the hiring of Simon and other key additions in ZE UK, reflect ZE’s desire to provide the best possible service and solutions to companies operating in Europe and EMEA.
