About John Nisi

I currently serve as CEO and General Partner of a behind the meter energy creation company for Industrial and Mission Critical Infrastructure solutions. We focus on grid-independent, renewable energy and cooling solutions across US Commercial, US Federal Government and GCC regions.I previously was Partner Vice President & Head of Growth for Microsoft’s Strategic Missions and Technologies division, a team dedicated to pioneering next-generation technology solutions. Our portfolio includes empowering telecommunications providers with advanced capabilities, connecting the cloud to space through cutting-edge satellite integration, driving scalable and accessible quantum computing research, and partnering with the U.S. Federal Government to enable mission-critical digital transformation across defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies. With over 25 years at Microsoft in roles spanning Global CTO for Data & AI, and GM/COO of the US Cloud & Enterprise, I\'ve led technical strategy and innovation at scale, fueling growth for global organizations through deep technical insight and high-impact execution.Beyond my current role, I’m passionate about nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship. I actively advise early-stage and growth-stage startups, offering guidance on technology strategy, organizational scaling, and market differentiation. These advisory roles allow me to stay close to emerging trends, mentor bold founders, and support the next generation of transformative companies.As a father of three, I’m equally committed to education and how technology can reshape the way we teach and learn. My wife and I share a love of travel, the outdoors, and sustainability. If I’m not at work, you’ll likely find me hiking in the Adirondacks, playing tennis with friends, or tapping maple trees in the Catskills with my family to make our own syrup.
