Carrier Connect Data Solutions Inc. has appointed Mark Alexander as chief revenue officer, effective April 7, 2026.

Mr. Alexander, Carrier's new CRO, is a seasoned sales leader and executive with a proven record of delivering consistent predictable growth, expanding margins and strengthening market position in complex multiindustry environments. He brings a rigorous, metrics-driven approach to revenue leadership, aligning commercial strategy with corporate objectives and long-term revenue creation.

He built his career at Purolator, with his most recent role being regional commercial sales manager focused on ensuring the growth, retention and yield of accounts in accordance with corporate strategies through process, financial and people management within the Western Canadian business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets, with a keen focus on vertical market strategies and optimization.

Mr. Alexander, chief revenue officer, remarked: "I'm genuinely excited to join Carrier Connect Data Solutions at the forefront of Tier 2/3 data centre acquisitions, where infrastructure, technology and long-term investment strategy converge to power the digital economy. The opportunity to help identify, evaluate and scale high-quality assets in a sector experiencing unprecedented demand is incredibly motivating. I'm particularly drawn to the complexity of aligning capital deployment with market dynamics, operational performance and customer needs while building a resilient, future-ready portfolio. Being part of a team that is shaping critical infrastructure for cloud, AI and global connectivity is both energizing and deeply meaningful, and I'm eager to contribute to driving disciplined growth and lasting value."

Mark Binns, chief executive officer of Carrier, commented: "The addition of Mr. Alexander comes at an ideal time. With our growing portfolio of five data centres and more on the way, we want to ensure that we maximize revenue per centre, per rack and per megawatt.
