ATLANTA (July 2, 2012) — Cbeyond, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBEY), a leading provider of cloud and network services to small and mid-sized businesses, today announced the addition of Paul Carmody as Chief Marketing Officer. A seasoned high-tech and cloud veteran, Carmody will drive Cbeyond’s strategy to offer businesses a personalized path to the latest technology using its network and the cloud as the framework. Carmody joins Cbeyond with nearly two decades of IT marketing, product development and customer relations experience. Before joining Cbeyond, Carmody most recently served as the senior vice president of product management and business development at Internap, where he oversaw the company’s managed and cloud hosting, colocation and enterprise IP and CDN units. During his tenure, Carmody led Internap’s entry into the cloud marketplace via two cloud platforms. Previously, Carmody was senior vice president of marketing, product and strategy at Broadlane. He also served as vice president of product development at Rackspace where he helped build its first official product team and standardized the go-to-market process.

"I saw an opportunity with Cbeyond to deliver that value to businesses in a manner that relieves the burden from their shoulders. Using Cbeyond’s enterprise-class network as the on-ramp, we can deliver services to customers and transition them to the cloud securely and cost-effectively."
