Energy & Power Manager
Secures, procures, and manages power supply for AI compute infrastructure. Covers energy procurement and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), commercial energy development, power transaction management, load interconnection with utilities and grid operators, energy market analysis and forecasting, nuclear/renewable commercial development, and on-site/behind-the-meter generation strategy. Distinct from data center operations (which runs facilities day-to-day) and from sales (which sells software to energy companies) — the defining mandate is securing reliable, cost-effective, and increasingly clean power supply at the scale required by modern AI compute.
