BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwired - July 26, 2016) - AiNET, a global and award-winning leader in data center, fiber optics and managed services, announced today that Michael Fox has been hired to fulfill the role of regional Vice President of Sales and Business Development. He will head up focused expansion efforts in the Baltimore/ D.C. metropolitan region for the Maryland-based tech firm.

Fox's background in the IT services world is extensive, with over 30 years of experience supporting Enterprise and SMB markets starting with Verizon/MCI telecommunications. He moved onto become a National Director with NTT, and then to Carpathia where he headed up the Government Services division and was a managing partner. He led migration efforts for Carpathia's acquisition by QTS. He was most recently the Regional Sales Director at ByteGrid.

Fox's decades of experience in the market bring deep knowledge and relationships to AiNET's regional expansion efforts, and will allow the company to enter new markets, drive product development and go-to-market strategy, and focus outreach to leaders in the technology community.

The company has stated that its immediate growth efforts involve leveraging past performance and client success stories, increasing scope of IT customer solutions, and increasing contacts within the market. AiNET's long term goals are to grow strategically with a national footprint as well as a global presence, and to accelerate market penetration within enterprise-class and service provider organizations in diverse industries such as healthcare, media, financial services and higher education/ research.

"The industry is rapidly transforming," says AiNET founder and CEO Deepak Jain. "We are growing and adapting to continue to lead this transformation as clients pivot from having on premise physical infrastructure towards Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), cloud environments and fully managed hybrid service solutions. We have embraced a holistic approach to solving these tech challenges for our clients and we know Michael will be a powerful evangelist for our philosophy."

"AiNET has a great service, customers have a great experience and it's all built around great people," says Jain. "We are excited Michael will be coming aboard to help us tell our story to a much wider audience."
