DALLAS, Jan. 14, 2026 — Stream Data Centers (“Stream” or the “Company”), a time-tested hyperscale partner and one of the longest-standing developers in the industry, today announced the appointment of Michael Lahoud as Chief Executive Officer, as the Company continues to scale its platform and expand its capabilities to meet growing customer demand.
