Pulsant, the UK-wide digital infrastructure and data centre platform, today announced the appointment of Jon Arnold as its new Chief Commercial Officer.

Jon joins from international data centre operator Global Switch, where he served as Executive Group Director for Sales and Strategic Accounts. He brings more than 25 years of experience in digital infrastructure, data centres and enterprise technology, having previously held senior leadership roles at Volta Data Centres, Daisy Group, MCI Worldcom and Siemens.

As a member of Pulsant's Executive Leadership Team, Jon will lead the company's sales, commercial and client relationship functions, helping clients accelerate their digital transformation ambitions whilst navigating increasing demand for resilient, sovereign and AI-ready infrastructure.

He brings extensive experience of leading commercial teams across data centres and digital infrastructure, with a strong track record of building lasting client relationships and delivering growth.

"Jon joins us at an exciting stage in Pulsant's journey. As businesses across the UK increasingly look to deploy AI-enabled services closer to their users and data, demand for secure, resilient and regionally distributed digital infrastructure continues to grow. His leadership and market expertise will help us build on the momentum we have created and support even more clients across the UK."

Jon Arnold said: "The UK is one of the biggest data centre markets outside the US and Pulsant occupies a unique position within it, combining a UK-wide platform with deep regional presence and sovereign infrastructure. The company has built a compelling proposition for organisations seeking secure, connected and scalable digital infrastructure.

"The market opportunity ahead is significant, particularly as AI adoption moves from experimentation to deployment. I'm looking forward to joining the Pulsant team, meeting our clients and partners, and helping to accelerate the next phase of Pulsant's growth."

Pulsant's UK-wide digital infrastructure is used by hundreds of businesses to connect securely to data, cloud, connectivity and digital services, with an ecosystem of more than 1,600 technology providers enabling instant connectivity for global traffic routing and access to international networks.
