Private Equity, Google
Brett Rogers worked for a private equity firm for three years in a variety of roles, including CEO of the supply chain technology company KatalystDI and portfolio support for data center building and contracting firms. This was prior to Rogers joining EdgeCore. He headed Google’s design and construction division in the Americas from 2015 to 2021, growing the company from 200 MW to over a gigawatt yearly while serving in that role. When Rogers was employed by Tesla earlier in his career, he oversaw the creation of the first Gigafactory design and construction program.
“Brett joins EdgeCore at a critical juncture in our business’s development, and we anticipate the value his experience will bring towards realizing our objective of delivering high-density data centers,” said EdgeCore CEO Lee Kestler. “Brett has experience working on some of the biggest hyperscale development projects in the nation, so he has a special awareness of the subtleties involved in our clients’ needs.”
