It has been an incredible journey with Sunstone Partners, and I am looking forward to partnering with Rackspace for the next stage of growth."

Mike Biggee, co-founder and Managing Director at Sunstone Partners, said, "It has been an immense pleasure to work with Stephen and the entire Onica team to build a leading cloud consulting firm that delivers incredible experiences and innovations to their customers.
