VanderZanden will lead development and location strategy for STACK with a focus on product development, site selection, and strategic partnerships.
VanderZanden is the most recent addition to STACK’s team of proven data center and technology industry experts.

Before joining Facebook, VanderZanden practiced real estate law at Paul Hastings.
“Matt’s joining is a real-time insight into our strategy for STACK. We are singularly focused on meeting the needs of our clients,” said Brian Cox, Chief Executive Officer of STACK. “Matt represents the very best of the hyperscale community and the rigorous capacity, technical, uptime, and value expectations that community demands. As the voice of the customer and the head of our strategy, he will provide a unique perspective as we develop the national footprint, scale, and flexibility our platform can deliver.”
