ABOUT RYAN WAN
As a Market Development Specialist at First Block, I work at the intersection of AI infrastructure, sustainable energy, and next-gen data centers. I support GPU cloud providers and AI companies in scaling efficiently — from liquid-cooled deployments to low-carbon colocation strategies — with a focus on energy optimization and digital sovereignty. My research and fieldwork have explored data center energy usage, heat recovery, and high-performance computing trends across North America. I’ve engaged with partners across industry and government to drive forward-thinking, scalable solutions that align innovation with environmental responsibility. I hold a dual Master’s degree in International Business (HEC Montréal) and Management (emlyon business school), along with a PMP® certification, enabling me to navigate the complexities of infrastructure development, digital transformation, and global market expansion. Passionate about building a more sustainable digital future — and always open to conversations around AI, cloud infrastructure, and green compute
