The executives overseeing AI’s multi-gigawatt expansion - new feature from Pro

Hello,

AI may dominate headlines, but much of the race is unfolding behind the scenes — in data centers, energy contracts and large-scale infrastructure expansion.

Our new Talent Tracker, The Executives Leading the Data Center Race, identifies 16 leaders shaping that buildout across firms including Anthropic, Microsoft, Oracle and Crusoe.

These executives are:

• Overseeing multi-gigawatt data center projects
• Scaling infrastructure for next-generation AI models
• Managing the capital and operational demands of AI expansion
• Taking on larger roles in one of tech's most capital-intensive buildouts

Infrastructure — power, permitting, chips and execution — is increasingly shaping how fast AI can scale. The leaders solving those constraints are becoming central to the industry's trajectory.

Why this matters now:

AI demand is rising faster than infrastructure can be deployed, influencing hiring, capital allocation and strategic priorities across the sector.

Knowing who is building — and where bottlenecks are emerging — offers an early signal into where AI growth may accelerate next.
