Siemens has appointed Kirk Wetherell to lead its data center vertical business in Australia and New Zealand.
He will oversee the delivery of Siemens’ advanced modular, scalable, and AI-driven solutions across a suite of offerings including power management, energy optimisation, microgrids, building automation, fire detection and more.
In his previous roles, Kirk spearheaded the growth in the delivery of prefabricated modular infrastructure across data center, telecom, mining, enterprise and government sectors.
He joins from Vertiv, where he spent close to 10 years, most recently in the role of associate director of business development for Vertiv Modular Solutions ANZ.
Wetherell said this is the most exciting time he has seen in the data center space.
"AI is driving rack densities beyond 100kW, prompting a complete rethink of how we design, power, cool and construct the next generation of facilities," he said.
"With Siemens being one of the world’s leading technology companies operating across smart infrastructure, energy and advanced industry, I can already see incredible opportunities to support the integrated needs of data centers."
