Billions Earmarked for Data Centers is Seeking Operating Partners

"I kid you not. . . at least once a week, I've got a conversation going with somebody who sits in digital infrastructure private equity, and they say to me, 'If you know somebody, or a team, that does XYZ in the data center space, let me know. I'd love to meet them, because that is the type of business model that we could put hundreds of millions, if not not billions, into.'" The amount of private capital available for deployment in digital infrastructure investments is far outpacing the supply of operational talent necessary to put it to work. Patrick Reyes, a Principal at infrastructure-focused executive search firm, One Search, says large private equity and infrastructure firms eager to enter the digital infrastructure asset class often have deeply researched ideas about where to invest, but lack the platform company or management team to executive the strategy. Reyes shares these observations in the Cool Vector episode, "Why Comp is Surging for Digital Infrastructure Investors and Operators." Cool Vector website: https://coolvectormedia.com/
