Drive capacity planning, site pipeline strategy, build-out roadmaps, and organizational scaling initiatives aligned with customer demand.

Develop executive-level presentations, board materials, business reviews, and strategic recommendations covering capacity, capital deployment, and delivery performance.

Monitor key business metrics to identify opportunities to improve delivery speed, utilization, cost efficiency, and operational reliability.

Advise the President on high-priority strategic decisions, including site selection, power procurement, hardware roadmap, and major vendor partnerships, as a trusted thought partner.

Drive accountability across functional and site leaders through structured follow-up and execution management.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Lead high-impact initiatives spanning Data Center Development, Construction, Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance, and Sales.

Coordinate strategic projects such as new site launches, power and energy agreements, GPU and hardware supply programs, and infrastructure transformation efforts.

Remove organizational obstacles that slow execution or create misalignment between infrastructure teams and the wider business.

Accelerate decision-making by aligning stakeholders around priorities, ownership, risk, and next steps.

Executive Communications & Special Projects

Prepare internal and external communications on behalf of the President.

Develop leadership updates, board reports, investor materials, and company-wide presentations on infrastructure strategy and progress.

Ensure strategic priorities are clearly communicated throughout the AI infrastructure organization.

Lead mission-critical initiatives identified by the President and executive team.
