São Paulo, Brazil, March 2025 – Elea Data Centers, a leading provider of sustainable digital infrastructure and colocation services in Brazil’s Tier 1 and Tier 2 markets, announces the strategic promotion of two executives to key leadership positions. Crislaine Corradine takes on the role of Chief Business Support Officer (CBSO), and Raphael Salomão is appointed Deputy Chief Financial Officer (Deputy CFO).
These appointments underscore Elea‘s unwavering commitment to fostering talent, empowering women in leadership, and driving operational efficiency during an exciting period of growth.

This remarkable achievement reflects Elea‘s commitment to supporting and nurturing a diverse workforce where women can thrive at all levels, fostering a culture that values talent, dedication, and equity.
