Welcoming an Industry Veteran

In line with our commitment to bringing in the best talent, we recently announced Colin DeLacy as our new Vice President of Data Center Operations Sales.

Celebrating A Rising Star

One of the standout examples of our culture in action is Jacob Totten, recently named one of Capacity’s Rising Stars of 2024, which recognizes talent under 35 in the telecommunications industry. As a Senior Project Manager, Jacob embodies the qualities we value at T5: exceptional leadership, innovative thinking, and a positive impact on the projects he oversees.

In the last year, Jacob has managed approximately $100 million in projects across Oregon and California, but his crowning achievement was leading a major data center infrastructure project in Oregon. He implemented a groundbreaking training and development program that utilized new technology, which improved operational efficiency and reduced costs.

Jacob’s approach combines technical expertise with strategic vision, enabling him to deliver projects ahead of schedule and under budget without compromising quality or safety. His ability to leverage cutting-edge technology in practical applications has driven substantial improvements in project execution, earning him respect from colleagues, clients, and industry partners.

Lastly, Jacob is dedicated to fostering the next generation of talent within T5.
