NOVA Mission Critical Announces Two More Additions to the NOVA Team!

Nova Mission Critical Continues to Rebuild Its Team and Strengthen Its Capabilities in Data Center Construction and Delivery

NOVA Mission Critical, a leading global builder of Data Center and Colocation solutions, today announced the addition of two more resources with the hire of Michael Vanfossen as Sr. Project Manager and Anthony Garcia as Project Manager.  Edward Stewart, President of NOVA Mission Critical, stated “Both of these seasoned professionals come to us with a wealth of construction experience, both having spent the last several years playing instrumental roles in major projects with numerous large corporations such as AT&T, Verizon, Yahoo! and QTS Data Centers.”

“We are very excited to welcome both Michael and Anthony to the NOVA family,” commented Mike Maldari, Executive Vice President of Product Delivery at NOVA Mission Critical.  “Michael Vanfossen actually joined the NOVA team almost 6 months ago and his astonishing attention to detail matched with his tenacity has already proven to be a very smart business decision.  Mike wasted zero time taking control of one of our most critical projects in recent years in Chicago and his success on that project has already brought about an invitation for additional work with that client.  Michaels approach in just these 6 months has already given us a much deeper understanding of what our customers are hoping to achieve with their projects.”

We are measured by the quality of the people that we surround ourselves with and I believe that both Michael and Anthony represent the very best that we have to offer!

Mike Maldari, EVP, Product Delivery

With regards to Anthony Garcia, Mr. Maldari stated, “Having just recently joined the NOVA family myself I knew that I needed to immediately make some bold moves and Anthony is exactly that.  Anthony is a former Army Officer and was trained about operational leadership during some of the most difficult of situations.  Anthony radiates command presence and is the type of guy that volunteers to come in early and stay late while heading directly towards challenge when others are running away.  Anthony’s proven experience delivering mission critical projects combined with his hunger to grow professionally made him a perfect fit for the new culture that we are developing here at NOVA today.”  Mr. Maldari also said “I am both honored and proud to have both Michael and Anthony on my team and I look forward to their future growth and success in the years to come.”  Michael Vanfossen and Anthony Garcia will both immediately report directly to Mike Maldari on the operations and delivery team and will play a significant role in his efforts to transform the delivery experience for NOVA’s clients.

Edward Stewart added “On behalf of the entire NOVA team, and our clients, I would like to again personally welcome both Michael and Anthony to our family.  Michael has already proven how critical his involvement is to our success and I look forward to experiencing the same with Anthony in the weeks and months to come.”
