Risk & Governance: Identify strategic blind spots and advise on governance frameworks and risk mitigation in this new area of operation.
 
Market & Technology Insight: Monitor data centre industry trends, emerging technologies (e.g., automation, AI, edge computing), and regulatory shifts - translating insights into strategic action.
 
Stakeholder Engagement: Support effective communication with senior leadership and investors on technical and operational matters related to the data centre strategy.
 
Ideal Candidate Profile
 
Proven Data Centre Expertise: Significant experience in the design, construction, or operation of Tier II–IV data centres, ideally with exposure to renewable or hybrid power integration.
 
Operational Transition Experience: Demonstrated success supporting organisations as they pivot into new, capital-intensive and technically complex markets.
 
Board-Level Leadership: Previous NED, advisory, or C-suite experience within infrastructure, energy, or technology organisations.
 
Strong Commercial Acumen: Ability to assess project viability, advise on capital investment strategies, and guide scalable, cost-effective growth.
