St. Louis-based data connection and cloud service provider TierPoint recently appointed Jenny Cooper and Chris Scaglione to the company's senior leadership team.

Cooper, a CPA, joins the firm as senior vice president and chief accounting officer. She previously worked at Nidec Motor Corp., SunEdison and LMI Aerospace. She earned a bachelor’s from China’s Beijing University and a master's from Washington University in St. Louis before embarking on her career at KPMG. Additionally, Cooper earned a master of accountancy degree from the University of Missouri.

Scaglione, now promoted to senior vice president for financial operations, has been with TierPoint since 2016, when it acquired his previous employer Cosentry. Scaglione also worked at World Wide Technology, XIOLINK, and Deloitte Consulting; he graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, where he earned both his bachelor’s degree and an MBA.

Both Cooper and Scaglione will report directly to TierPoint President and Chief Financial Officer Mary Meduski.

Additionally, it operates more than 40 interconnected venues nationwide.

In addition to conventional customer needs, TierPoint tends to co-location, disaster recovery, security and other IT services “at the edge of the internet,” the company said.
