He has worked on large-scale content networking, storage and delivery for over 13 years. At Speedera Networks, he built and managed the market's second-largest CDN service that was eventually sold to Akamai.

"Our expansion in New York City speaks to the increasing need for IT sourcing services across the country," says Tony Greenberg, CEO of RampRate.

"We have assembled a top-notch leadership team on the East Coast to meet this growing demand as well as ensure companies that their IT sourcing decisions and contracts accurately reflect business, cost and quality objectives."
