Who is EcoDataCenter’s new CEO Peter Michelson?
EcoDataCenter has named its new CEO.
Peter Michelson takes over from Dan Andersson on October 1 as he steps back to take retirement from executive management.
The newly-appointed CEO said: “EcoDataCenter is on an inspiring journey of high growth and has quickly taken a place on the international arena. The company is well positioned to take a leading role in the green transition driven by digitalisation.”
Predecessor Andersson said he “couldn’t have wished for a better person to take on the role”, adding: “Peter is a great person and it feels great knowing the company will continue the journey under his leadership.”
The appointment comes at a crucial time for EcoDataCenter, as the company - through its owner Areim - has raised an investment of €448 million (US$486m) to enable the company’s expansion. The ongoing growth of AI has increased the demand for its services, EcoDataCenter said.
EcoDataCenter has launched its next major investment, EcoDataCenter 2 in Östersund. The operator has four sites in three different locations, which offer unique opportunities based on the different requirements and needs of its client base.
