About the desk
The industry needs
more signal.
Data center growth is a power story, a capital story, a policy story, and a delivery story. We read across all four.
TJ Asbury / Founder
TJ has 20 years of data center experience spanning strategy, hyperscale, colocation, product, and brokerage.
- AWS and Oracle — hyperscaler experience.
- Flexential — ran colocation.
- Level 3 Communications and SunGard — colocation product leadership.
- Brokerage — experience connecting customer requirements with providers.
That mix informs the desk’s lens: what is the requirement, what can actually be delivered, and what does the timeline depend on?
