“Driving innovation within Colt and harnessing the power of our ecosystem through partnership continue to be areas of focus for us, as we leverage the latest technologies and best of our industry to support enterprises globally. I have no doubt Mirko and Mark are the best people to head up these areas and I look forward to their continued success.
