Prior to joining Zenium, King held the role of Group Commercial Director at Global Switch where he was responsible for the group’s commercial and sales strategy across its portfolio of data centres in Europe and Asia Pacific.

Commenting on the appointment, Franek Sodzawiczny, CEO at Zenium said, “Julian's lengthy and wide ranging experience in corporate real estate around the world, combined with his detailed knowledge of key industry verticals, is a very welcome addition to the impressive executive team already on board at Zenium.
