Lead the structuring of digital infrastructure platforms across public and private sectors, aligning power, land and connectivity to enable scalable, investable data centre and network deployment.Operate at the intersection of infrastructure, energy and digital systems, working alongside specialist power, planning and engineering teams to unlock capacity and reduce deployment risk in constrained markets.Focus areas:Infrastructure platform development across hyperscale, edge and large scale infrastructure environmentsEnergy and location strategy, coordinating grid, planning and connectivity inputs into viable infrastructure solutionsCommercial and delivery model alignment to support investment and scalabilityCity-scale infrastructure coordination across multi-utility systemsTelecoms and digital network strategy across public and private sectorsIntegration of sustainability and circular energy principles into infrastructure planning
SKILLS
ABOUT LUKE MCGLONE
I work at the intersection of digital infrastructure, energy and the built environment, enabling large-scale data centre and network platforms to be deployed in increasingly constrained markets.My focus is on structuring infrastructure systems so they are not only technically viable, but commercially investable — aligning power, land, connectivity and planning into coherent platforms that can scale.Over the past decade, I have led digital infrastructure strategy and delivery across complex, multi-stakeholder environments, working with governments, developers, operators and investors to unlock capacity and reduce deployment risk across hyperscale, edge and large-scale infrastructure environments.My experience spans the full lifecycle of infrastructure — from early-stage feasibility and site selection through to integration within wider urban and utility systems — with a particular focus on:Infrastructure platform development across data centres, telecoms and smart environmentsEnergy and location strategy, coordinating grid, planning and connectivity constraintsStructuring delivery approaches that improve bankability and enable efficient capital deploymentCity-scale infrastructure coordination across power, fibre and digital systemsIntegration of sustainability and circular energy principles into infrastructure designI am particularly interested in how digital infrastructure, energy systems and capital can be more effectively aligned to support the next generation of AI and compute platforms, while delivering long-term economic and societal value.
