Create and convert strategic opportunities involving powered land, utility service, behind-the-meter generation, battery storage, energy infrastructure, powered shell environments, modular data center solutions, and long-term capacity agreements.

Develop executive relationships across the data center ecosystem, including hyperscalers, AI and cloud providers, colocation operators, developers, utilities, brokers, infrastructure partners, and other key market participants.

Lead complex commercial pursuits from initial customer engagement through qualification, solution development, commercial negotiations, contracting, and transition to execution.

Partner closely with development, land acquisition, engineering, power, finance, legal, and construction teams to align customer demand with available power, site readiness, technical feasibility, project economics, and delivery schedules.

Drive the coordination required to secure land, utility capacity, interconnection pathways, and infrastructure solutions that enable customer opportunities to advance into executable projects.

Structure and negotiate high-value commercial agreements, including LOIs, capacity commitments, development agreements, leases, infrastructure services agreements, and other long-term commercial arrangements.

Evaluate opportunities through the lens of customer demand, infrastructure availability, power constraints, development risk, capital requirements, and long-term profitability.

Serve as one of the Company's primary market-facing leaders, helping position TransGrid Energy as a strategic infrastructure and power partner for the next generation of AI, cloud, and digital infrastructure development.

Maintain deep market intelligence regarding data center demand, AI infrastructure growth, utility constraints, available capacity, competitive activity, commercial structures, and emerging market opportunities.

Personally lead the Company's most strategic customer relationships, negotiations, and business development initiatives while helping build a scalable and repeatable commercial engine.

Strong understanding of data center commercial models, including power availability, site development, utility interconnection, capacity planning, project schedule, resiliency, and data center leasing.

Demonstrated CRM discipline, pipeline inspection, forecast accuracy, opportunity qualification, and executive account planning.

Ability to engage C-suite executives and lead cross-functional teams across engineering, development, construction, operations, finance, legal, procurement, and real estate without relying solely on direct authority.
