• Use partner assets, relationships, and sales channels to accelerate growth; own pricing, pipeline conversion, and negotiations for leases, development agreements, and infrastructure services.
• Lead fundraising and bring investment from strategic partners, infrastructure funds, and other capital providers to finance campus development, inference data center JVs, and expansion.
• Structure partner equity, asset contributions, co-investment, and project financing; own the investment case, financial models, investor relationships, due diligence, and negotiations through closing.
• Establish JV economics, governance, capital commitments, customer responsibilities, and operating roles while maintaining disciplined returns and capital deployment.
• Bring TGE’s AI Factory design and build capabilities to owned, affiliate, and partner campuses; align power, shell, cooling, and electrical infrastructure with AI workload and customer requirements.
• Oversee feasibility, design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover; hold delivery partners accountable for schedule, cost, quality, and safety; standardize designs for repeatable expansion.
• Integrate IPP and Grid Energy Service capabilities into campus power supply and commercial models; apply energy management systems (EMS) and power management systems (PMS) to optimize energy cost, control, efficiency, and reliability.
• Optimize generation, procurement, storage, grid interaction, and load management where appropriate; own asset availability, service levels, maintenance, operating cost, and continuous improvement.
