A Message From The Editor

From Alexandra Thorer’s appointment at BCS to Doug Loewe’s exit at Kao Data, this week’s stories aren’t just about infrastructure; they’re about the people shaping it.

 

Alongside leadership shifts, we’re seeing major investments take hold: a new Manchester facility from Datum, a completed acquisition of Yondr by DigitalBridge, and the UK’s first NVIDIA Blackwell AI cluster from Nebius.

 

The shape of tomorrow’s infrastructure is being decided now by vision, velocity, and the calibre of those leading the charge.

 

All the best,

Rebecca Uffindell
