Exciting news from the great state of Utah: ValorC3 Data Centers has appointed Carter Groves as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This move strengthens its veteran executive team with a seasoned leader in infrastructure investment and operations. The new ValorC3 Data Centers CFO joins the company at a pivotal time as it continues growing its national footprint to meet increasing enterprise demand for secure, high-performance colocation, cloud and connectivity services.
This financial leadership appointment also builds on recent momentum, including the company’s rebrand from Tonaquint to ValorC3 and the development of a new 10MW facility in Boise, Idaho.
Meet Carter Groves, ValorC3 Data Centers’ New CFO
Groves brings over 24 years of experience across private equity, infrastructure development, and financial strategy. He has served in senior roles at leading global investment firms, including as a partner and Head of U.S. Infrastructure. His background spans board leadership, interim management positions, and oversight of high-impact energy and digital infrastructure portfolios.
“Carter Groves is an exceptional addition to the Valor executive team,” said Valor CEO Jim Buie. “He brings strong leadership skills and a breadth of expertise in investment strategy, operational oversight and investor relations, and we’re excited about the experience he brings to the team.”
Groves shared his perspective on the opportunity ahead:
“I’m honored to join Valor,” said Carter Groves. ”I’m excited to work with an excellent management team and organization to help accelerate the company’s expansion into additional high-value markets and continue serving both enterprise and hyperscale customers with industry-leading data center and connectivity solutions.”
Momentum and Strategic Investment in Boise and Beyond
Groves’ appointment as ValorC3 Data Centers’ CFO is part of the company’s broader strategy to strengthen its leadership team, accelerate growth and build on momentum:
- In early 2025, ValorC3 completed a full rebrand from Tonaquint to reflect its national focus and commitment to delivering integrated colocation, cloud, and connectivity services. Read more here.
- Soon after, ValorC3 broke ground on its second Boise facility, a 10MW data center designed to support AI workloads and enterprise resilience, scheduled to come online in 2027. This expansion will double the company’s capacity in the region, reinforcing its position as a critical player in the Midwest infrastructure landscape.
- In May, the company’s tornado-proof Oklahoma City fortress was named Data Center of the Month by Capacity Media, spotlighting its innovation, efficiency, and operational excellence in a fast-growing market. The OKC recognition came the same month the Oklahoma City Thunder celebrated its first NBA Championship, a proud moment for both teams and the city that’s also emerging as a rising player in U.S. digital infrastructure.
These developments highlight ValorC3’s commitment to strategic, long-term growth in emerging and high-demand digital corridors.
