Data centre operator DigiCo Infrastructure REIT (ASX: DGT) has hired former AirTrunk founding executive Michal Juniper as it seeks to stake its claim as a top-tier provider of AI infrastructure.
The firm told the ASX on Thursday that Mr Juniper would join its board and also its executive ranks.
Michael brings more than two decades of experience in digital infrastructure. Most recently, he was a founding executive at AirTrunk, where he was pivotal in shaping the business from inception to a leading Australian and APAC regional data centre platform dealing with the world's largest cloud and technology companies. Over his distinguished 9-year role as Executive Director at AirTrunk, Michael also led the expansion of the business outside of Australia and into major Asian markets, including Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
Mr Juniper will focus on strengthening DigiCo's operational, leasing, and development capabilities as the firm accelerates its growth across Australia and international markets, DigiCo said.
Mr Juniper said Digico was uniquely positioned to meet the next generation of requirements from global technology companies.
Beyond resilience, connectivity and speed of delivery, our mandate is to provide solutions that are efficient, sustainable and scalable. With the rapid emergence of AI intensifying global power requirements, I look forward to helping DigiCo pursue carbon-neutral pathways, deploy advanced power strategies, and invest in innovations in cooling, energy management and construction practices. By combining operational excellence with forward-looking sustainability and the ability to deliver at scale, we aim to position DigiCo as a partner of choice for technology platforms worldwide while creating enduring value for investors.
