Yoni Kirsh states: “Reflecting on the last 15 years, I’ve had a lot to be proud of. Fastrack has been lucky enough, and adaptable enough, to be able to evolve our business to meet the changing demands of our customers, from starting as a consulting business, to a managed service provider, to providing international datacentre and infrastructure services. Our global footprint has allowed us to work with a wide variety of customers from all over the world and provide them with access to grow their footprint too. As a result, I’ve had the privilege to see some of our customers expand from small startups to worldwide leaders in their field. Lastly, I’m so proud of the people that have been part of team Fastrack, past, present and future; and the opportunities we’ve been able to give them. Seeing them grow and develop as professionals, within industry and beyond, is always a proud moment for any leader. I’m looking forward to this next chapter for Fastrack and I know with Ben in the driver’s seat, we will continue serving our customers with as much enthusiasm and passion as we have for more than a decade”.

“I’ve been really impressed by Fastrack Technology. It is a group that has values which align closely with mine; that is being great customer champions whilst providing exciting and highly considered solutions to technology problems. The team are both dedicated and talented, and Yoni’s vision has always seriously impressed me. I am excited and honoured to lead Fastrack as we move onto our next phase of growth and innovation”, said Ben Richards.
