Mike Licitra is an example of what can be achieved with innate curiosity and a desire to consistently be in the path of what’s next.
With a background in strategic global data center planning, Mike’s front-row seat to the rise of the cloud helped him develop new colocation sites at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and deliver on hyperscalers’ exponential cloud growth.
Wanting to be as close to the action as possible, he joined Stream. As VP of Solutions Architecture, Mike has been a driving force behind Stream’s standardized-but-configurable design and construction standard (DACS). Balancing the speed and scale benefits of a standardized design with adaptability for customers’ specific performance requirements, DACS is key to Stream’s rapid delivery of hyperscale data center capacity.
Though cars were Mike’s first passion, once he saw how that interest could be aligned with the growth of critical infrastructure by way of engineering, he quickly found his way to creating and innovating designs for the world’s most sophisticated data center customers. Now, we can’t imagine our team without him —and we don’t want to.
