Strauven, formerly senior vice president, capital markets, previously oversaw the development and execution of the company’s global capital-raising strategy through debt financing and financial risk management. Now as CFO, North America, assuming the role from Dave Renner, Strauven will lead the finance, financial planning and analysis, accounting and tax functions across the United States and Canada.

Succeeding Strauven as senior vice president of capital markets is Rich Cosgray. Cosgray brings more than 16 years of TMT banking and finance experience to the Vantage team. He joins the company from Truist Securities where he most recently served as managing director and head of TMT leveraged finance. With a specialization in digital infrastructure financings across data centers, fiber networks, broadband providers and towers, Cosgray executed more than $100 billion in debt financing during his tenure at Truist. He is based at Vantage’s corporate headquarters in Denver, reporting to Sharif Metwalli, the company’s global CFO.

“Christophe’s nearly 30 years of proven experience developing and executing growth strategies and navigating complex investment opportunities makes him an ideal fit to be our next CFO of North America. I am looking forward to working alongside Christophe in his new role to continue driving value for our North America business as we enter 2025 poised for phenomenal growth,” said Metwalli. “I’m also pleased to welcome Rich to our team. He has a long track record of success and will be instrumental in leading our capital markets effort around the world.

“In addition, I’d like to express my sincere appreciation to Dave for his many contributions to the company. Since joining Vantage in 2014, Dave has been instrumental in growing our business from a regional data center operator to one of the world’s leading global providers today, serving in a variety of capacities, from CFO, North America to chief administrative officer. We thank Dave for his lasting impact, and we wish him well in his retirement.”
