We saw an opportunity to build an enterprise class player in a large, underpenetrated market.

We partnered with Chris Torto in 2010 to form Ascenty. Chris had previously partnered with us to build Vivax, the second largest cable and fiber company in Brazil, and had more than 20 years of experience in the digital infrastructure industry, a proven track record, and deep knowledge of operations, sales, finance, and general management. “From the start, Great Hill shared our vision to grow Ascenty to scale and seize the opportunity to become the premium provider of data center infrastructure and reliable high bandwidth connectivity in Latin America," said Torto. "It was a privilege to work with the team at Great Hill again."
