CyrusOne, a leading global data center developer and operator, has appointed Robert Johnson as Chief Business Officer. In this role, Johnson will oversee the performance and operations of CyrusOne’s U.S. data centers, ensuring operational excellence, customer outcomes, revenue management, and optimal asset utilization as the company’s portfolio continues to expand and facilities reach full operational capacity.
Johnson joins CyrusOne with a proven track record of building high-performing teams and delivering results in complex, global technology environments. His leadership at Ericsson involved managing large-scale networks across the Americas, where he focused on execution, customer outcomes, and operational rigor—skills directly aligned with CyrusOne’s needs as it scales its U.S. portfolio to meet surging demand for AI-driven and hyperscale workloads.
“Rob is an experienced operator and people-first leader with a strong track record of building high-performing teams and translating complexity into execution,” said Eric Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of CyrusOne. “His background in large-scale, mission-critical environments and his commitment to customer outcomes and operational rigor make him a strong addition to our leadership team. I’m excited to partner with Rob as we continue to scale the business, strengthen performance across our portfolio, and advance CyrusOne’s long-term growth strategy.”
Johnson emphasized the strength of CyrusOne’s culture and platform as key factors in his decision to join.
“What excites me most about joining CyrusOne is the team and the culture. There is a real sense of pride in how this organization serves its customers and upholds its standards every day. CyrusOne has built an impressive global platform grounded in trust, reliability, and technical excellence. I look forward to working alongside this talented team to deepen customer relationships, strengthen performance across the portfolio, and build on this foundation to drive sustainable growth and long-term value.”
This leadership addition positions CyrusOne to maintain high standards of service delivery and operational performance as it expands its global footprint of over 55 data centers across the United States, Europe, and Japan, serving hyperscale and enterprise customers with tailored colocation, interconnection, and build-to-suit solutions.
