Data Center Consulting
A data center research and advisory firm building institutional ratings and transparency in the AI infrastructure space.
Because the market still can't tell paper approvals from enforceable community consent.
Areas of expertise
Specialized Knowledge. Practical Guidance.
Every engagement draws on deep operational experience and a track record of advising on complex, high-stakes data center projects across the country.
Governance & Consent Risk Rating
Independent evaluation of community consent durability — distinguishing paper approvals and symbolic oversight from enforceable governance with real veto points, so risk gets priced before it shows up as a cancelled project.
Data Center Market Intelligence
Original research and tracking across the active U.S. data center pipeline, mapping opposition signals, permitting outcomes, and press coverage to surface where governance risk is being systematically over- or under-priced.
Investment & Lender Advisory
Independent, non-advocacy governance-risk analysis for institutional investors and lenders evaluating data center assets or acquisitions — built to inform capital decisions, not just satisfy disclosure.
Strategic & Partnership Advisory
Retained advisory support for evaluating product and service offerings, assessing market opportunities, and identifying partnerships, distributors, and counterparties across the data center ecosystem.
About
A Trusted Advisor at Every Stage
With decades of experience in data center development, operations, and consulting, I bring a practitioner's perspective to every engagement. My work spans hyperscale campuses, colocation facilities, and edge deployments — advising clients who need more than a generalist opinion.
