In his new role, Sadler will be responsible for directing and further developing Digital Realty's Investor Relations program. Starting in mid-April Sadler will report directly to Digital Realty president and chief financial officer Andrew P. Power.
"We're thrilled to welcome Jordan to the Digital Realty team. Jordan is one of the most seasoned and well-regarded research analysts within the data centre sector and has covered Digital Realty since 2006," said A. William Stein, chief executive officer at Digital Realty.
"Over the past two decades, he has built deep relationships and provided invaluable insights across the analyst and investor community, and we are confident that his strong standing and extensive expertise will help ensure a strong understanding of the continued growth of our global platform."
Sadler enters the role with extensive experience in the investment community, replacing John Stewart, who has assumed the role of chief executive officer of Digital Core real estate investment trust (REIT).
Prior to his appointment, Sadler worked for KeyBanc Capital Markets, where he built and led one of Wall Street's REIT research franchises. He most recently served as a managing director of equity research analyst at KeyBanc, overseeing a team that covered more than 65 stocks across all property subsectors, including Digital Realty and other data centre REITs.
Before joining KeyBanc, Sadler worked as a senior member of Citigroup's real estate research team and before this served on the leveraged finance team at Natexis Banques Populaires. He started his career as an associate with Fleet Financial Group's Large Corporate Banking Group.
"Digital Realty is an industry leader at the forefront of data centre innovation. Over the past several years, Digital Realty has enhanced and extended its global platform, broadening its appeal to investors around the world in the process," said Sadler.
"I'm delighted to have the opportunity to work closely with the company and its global public shareholder base while collaborating with its growing pool of private capital partners."
