Boost will be responsible for the development and execution of the group vision, strategy and growth for the U.S. arm of the company.
“LeaseWeb USA is backed by one of the world’s largest hosting providers, but operates in the United States as an agile provider of innovative solutions,” said Boost. “It’s been a tremendous opportunity to work in a place with that mix of boldness and capacity. I look forward to continuing to use my entrepreneurial passion and knowledge of the U.S. market to lead LeaseWeb USA toward greater accomplishments.”
