Nick Barton has been appointed Chief Revenue Officer at Indigo Telecom Group, the digital infrastructure services provider whose 3,500-strong global engineering network handles more than 30,000 incidents a year for hyperscalers, subsea cable operators and mobile carriers.
Barton comes from Aqua Comms, where he served as Chief Commercial Officer. Before that he held senior positions at Verizon Business and Colt Technology Services. His mandate at Indigo is to align commercial strategy with what the company calls its unified global operating model — a single service framework covering delivery, field engineering, support and 24/7 network operations across every market it operates in.
"Indigo has a strong foundation supporting hyperscalers, carriers and network operators with the operational experience needed to keep essential infrastructure running reliably," said Nick Barton, Chief Revenue Officer at Indigo. "With a best-in-class global operating model the opportunity now is to translate that expertise into hyperscale performance for every customer. I am excited to work with the team as we drive that excellence and scale worldwide."
The appointment follows a period of deal activity for Indigo. In recent months the company signed Heads of Terms to potentially acquire Aqua Comms' Network Operations Centre and entered a partnership with Trans Pacific Networks to support subsea cable operations across the US and Asia.
"Nick's appointment comes at an important time for Indigo as we continue to scale our global service capabilities," said Michel Robert, CEO at Indigo. "His commercial experience, customer insight and background across hyperscaler accounts and international connectivity make him the perfect fit to support Indigo's next stage of growth. We're pleased to welcome Nick to the team as we enable trusted operational performance through real-time connectivity."
Founded in 1998, Indigo is headquartered in Magor, UK. It positions itself as a managed operations partner for infrastructure owners who need consistent, SLA-driven execution across geographically dispersed networks — markets where maintaining a direct engineering presence is economically difficult at smaller scale.
