If you’re looking for someone who has practically seen it all across the critical infrastructure landscape, look no further than Santiago Suinaga. In fact, as a rock-n-roll-frontman-turned-data-center-executive, he might even write you a song about it.
Across 20+ years and 10+ countries, Santiago’s expertise has been shaped by roles in data center design, critical operations, M&A, sales, finance, and cost management in high-growth markets. He’s also served as CEO of industry organizations like iMasons (where he was a founding Climate Accord Advisory Council member) and data center development companies alike — in fact, his 19 years at KIO Networks Data Centers expanded the platform to result in a $1.2 billion transaction.
Today, as SVP of Cloud and Hyperscale, Santiago’s rich industry experiences (and his wide variety of connections and insights) help enrich Stream’s existing customer relationships and develop new opportunities to deliver exceptional data center experiences.
Amazingly, despite his laundry list of accomplishments, Santiago still finds time for hobbies (did we mention that he’s a singer, plays the guitar and piano?). If there’s something he can’t do, our team hasn’t discovered it yet.
