An industry expert with more than a decade of demonstrated financial leadership on behalf of prominent data center, REIT and investment companies, Raj will direct major financial planning initiatives, as well as identify new and refine pre-existing efficiencies to achieve Aligned’s fiscal objectives.

Prior to TIER REIT, he acted as Vice President, Treasurer and Investor Relations at CyrusOne (NASDAQ: CONE), providing instrumental guidance during the company’s 2013 IPO. He also managed a series of successful capital markets and merger and acquisition transactions, raising approximately $3.5 billion during his time at CyrusOne.
“Aligned is redefining infrastructure for the digital age from a design, operation and management standpoint,” said Raj. “With technological exploration at the core of Aligned’s mission, I look forward to contributing to the company’s practice and culture of innovation.”
