Equinix's new dealmaker arrives with colorful resume

An interesting comment on Marc , the new Equinix chief development officer, comes from TheDeal.com:

>>Adams comes to Equinix with a colorful resume that reflects a wide range of deal experience. A few highlights: He founded the wireless infrastructure startup Mspect, which he eventually sold to Telephia. As vice president of business development at Adaptec, Adams facilitated the spinout of digital music provider Burningpoint.com, of which he became CEO. And, Adams did time as an executive at General Electric Capital and a strategy consultant at McKinsey & Co.

It isn't clear how Equinix plans to put all that deal experience to work. Other than the IXEurope deal, the company hasn't been particularly acquisitive of late, picking up just a few data centers in the U.S. and Asia over the past 18 months. But as demand for Internet and networking services increases in Europe and Asia, so too will the need for the data center services Equinix provides. So that could change.
