Hivelocity, a company that provides bare metal and AI-ready infrastructure for businesses, has appointed Jim Parks as its new chief executive officer. Parks will lead the company’s next stage of growth and innovation as more customers invest in high-performance and scalable AI infrastructure solutions.

Jim Parks has more than 20 years of leadership experience in infrastructure, SaaS, and data services. Before joining Hivelocity, he was CEO of Ntirety, where he helped grow the company before 11:11 Systems acquired it. He also held leadership roles at Flexential and Passport, focusing on revenue growth, product strategy, and global team management. Parks also has strong experience working with private equity-backed companies focused on customer growth and long-term success.

Under the leadership of Jim Parks, Hivelocity plans to expand its bare-metal and AI-ready infrastructure, including increasing GPU capacity. The company will also continue improving customer experience, building partnerships in the AI industry, and launching new solutions to help customers manage growing workloads.

"Hivelocity has earned its reputation on performance and on people who care about the customer," said Parks. "My focus is to build on that foundation and grow with our customers as they take on the next wave of compute. They want capacity, but, as importantly, a partner who stays responsive as requirements change, grows with them, and always shows up when it counts. That is the company we are building."
