Having maxed out the Exchange building capacity for space, power utility supply and weight bearing capacity, I designed and built 2 new purpose built data centre buildings.

With 14 data centres in the portfolio I managed the pipeline, pricing, capacity managing, forecasting, strategic planning, plus the design and build of additional capacity. After 4 years the requirement for new builds saw me move into the dedicated role of Data Centre Principal Architect.
