Equinix CEO Steve Smith has resigned suddenly after “exercising poor judgment with respect to an employee matter,” the company said today. The Equinix board said it accepted Smith’s resignation “in the best interests of the company,” and appointed Executive Chairman Peter Van Camp as interim CEO, effective immediately. Equinix provided no details on the circumstances that prompted Smith to offer his resignation, and said it would commence a formal process to appoint a new CEO.
