Chicago-based SingleHop, an infrastructure-as-a-service startup, hass recently hired Chris Locke as CFO

SingleHop, LLC., a leading Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and web hosting provider based in Chicago, has recently hired Chris Locke as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Chris will be responsible for the accounting, finance and administrative functions of the rapidly growing web hosting company.

SingleHop founder and CEO, Zak Boca, said adding an experienced CFO was a critical step in the next phase of SingleHop’s growth strategy, following the recent investment by a leading private equity firm, Boston-based Battery Ventures.

“Chris adds strong executive management leadership to our company,” Boca said. “His leadership and experience will help SingleHop achieve our aggressive growth and expansion plans.”

Locke comes from a diverse background, having worked in public accounting and for both private-owned and publicly traded businesses in the CFO role. He said working for a high-growth startup was a priority in his career.

“I haven’t had the opportunity to work with a company in as high growth of a mode as SingleHop has been in,” Locke said. “This is a high-growth company with unique finance, accounting, and operational needs. I’m here to help take those aspects to the next level and to help build the infrastructure needed to facilitate continued growth and profitability.”

Having worked in both startups and public companies, Locke feels more at home in the startup environment. Locke said he likes the culture of working at SingleHop and thinks it is the perfect fit for him.

“The management team here has had significant success, have partnered with one of the best private equity firms in the world, and have a clear vision of where they want to take the business,” Locke said. “I couldn’t be happier about joining the team and helping SingleHop reach new highs.”
