About Marco Garcia
I have spent my career at the intersection of critical energy infrastructure and emerging technology. My actual focus is on the \"Power-to-Compute\" challenge, and the complex task of bridging legacy electrical grids with the explosive demands of the AI-driven economy.With a foundation in both Electrical Engineering and Business Finance, I enjoy the challenge of translating multi-gigawatt technical requirements into capital strategies. Whether it is pioneering AI-based grid optimization or de-risking hyperscale deployments through behind-the-meter innovation, my goal is to ensure infrastructure is a catalyst for growth, not a bottleneck.I am a firm believer in the \"speed-to-power\" philosophy, but I know that infrastructure is only as resilient as the people behind it. I am passionate about nurturing top-notch, cross-functional teams designed to face the challenges of tomorrow, not yesterday - teams that operate with a dual technology and financial mindset to navigate an increasingly complex global landscape.
