DataBank Holdings Response
4yThanks again for the contributions you made during your tenure here at DataBank. We’re sorry you left with a negative impression of our recent acquisitions of zColo and Lightbound. Integrating new acquisitions is never easy, especially when they more than double the size of your operations. And the bigger the integration, the tougher the decisions. We don’t always get it right the first try but we’re always guided by our cultural values: Putting People First, Being Data Centered, Inspiring Confidence, Assuming Positive Intent, Taking Extreme Ownership, etc. We’re not afraid to admit when we’ve made a mistake either, and we always try to learn from them.
We recognize these integrations create a lot of change that can be disorienting for staff as they have to let go of old systems and ways of doing things and embrace new approaches that we think will scale better. But those changes also create opportunities for growth and advancement for those willing to adapt and we’ve invested heavily this past year in developing new career paths and training modules so that our people can grow along with DataBank.
