Lance Black, Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
As President and Chief Executive Officer, Lance contributes over fifteen years of leadership experience with high-growth technology companies to deliver innovative and reliable solutions in the data center, virtualization/cloud and managed IT services markets. His fundamental goal in leading
the organization is to maintain a culture committed to quality customer service and to hire and retain talented professionals who actively contribute to this goal, from executive leadership to solution support professionals and everyone in between. VAZATA was originally founded (by Lance) as Mareechi in early 2000.

In 2009, Mareechi merged with national colocation provider, Horizon Data Center Solutions, and rebranded as VAZATA. As CEO of VAZATA, Lance continues to challenge the bounds of technology along with his ability to attract and lead visionary IT professionals and subject matter experts. He has fueled the continued growth of VAZATA and is responsible for investor relations, strategic relationships, and day-to-day operations.
