David McGuirk — CEO
With a deep technical background in data centers, AI, and cloud infrastructure, I specialize in driving sustainability, energy and cost optimization by leveraging disruptive and effective technologies supporting the energy transition. I am a resourceful and seasoned professional with a unique blend of sales leadership, entrepreneurial experience, technical expertise, and a passion for sustainability. Having spent my career working with start-ups and scale-ups, I bring the agility, innovation, and hands-on leadership that drive growth in fast-paced environments. My approach is straightforward: understand client challenges inside-out, deliver sustainable outcomes that create real value and build relationships that last. Throughout my career, I’ve shaped and implemented Go-To-Market (GTM) and business development strategies across the UK, Europe, and the US, collaborating with leading tech and telecom giants as well as Global 1000 clients. I am equally comfortable discussing the technical intricacies of digital infrastructure as I am engaging in strategic sales conversations at the executive level.
