Storm Group, a Swiss-headquartered AI data centre infrastructure company, has appointed Reza Nedjatian as Chief Executive Officer following investment from strategic investors to support the company’s expansion across multiple markets.
Nedjatian brings more than 15 years of experience in developing and delivering large-scale power and digital infrastructure projects across MENA and North America.
Storm specialises in securing powered sites for AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. The company identifies suitable land, secures grid connections and planning approvals, and prepares sites for data centre development.
Storm currently has a development pipeline across Germany, Iceland, Spain and the United States, with additional European and Central Asian markets under evaluation.
“The demand for AI infrastructure is accelerating faster than the industry can build it,” said Bijan Alizadeh, Founder and Chairman of Storm Group. “The binding constraint is not compute hardware – it is access to power and permitted sites. Reza’s appointment reflects the scale of the opportunity ahead of us and the confidence our investors have in our platform.”
“The biggest constraint on AI infrastructure today is not chips, it is power and permitted land, and that is exactly where Storm is built to compete,” said Reza Nedjatian, Chief Executive Officer of Storm Group. “I have spent my career energising large-scale power and digital infrastructure sites, and I know how hard consented, grid-connected capacity is to deliver at speed. I am excited to lead the team delivering it across Europe and the United States.”
The investment will support site acquisition, grid connection processes and the development of Storm’s AI data centre team across its target markets.
