QTS Data Centers founder and CEO Chad Williams is leaving the company after 20 years. Also, relinquishing the role of company chairman, he is returning to the post of CEO at the Quality Group of Companies (QGC), a real estate and business services family office investment firm which was spun out of QTS in 2003.
Describing his time as CEO as “the honor of a lifetime,” Williams said: “We’ve been blessed to build the largest data center infrastructure company in the world, powered by people that are mission-minded and purpose-driven. In 2021, we had a unique opportunity to partner with Blackstone, the largest alternative asset manager in the world, and embark on an unprecedented journey of growth together. I want to thank all of our QTS family and Blackstone partners, our customers, equipment vendors, and power partners for allowing me to be part of this opportunity.”
He added: “As I step away from this chapter in my life, I know I leave our 1,600+ QTSers in capable hands with David and Tag to continue to provide important support to our local communities and deliver world-class services to our amazing partners who entrust us with their most important infrastructure globally.”
