aWordWithWard: Season 2 Episode #8 Giles Proctor

Ward Hampton sits down with Giles Proctor, Vice President of Business Development at Goodman Data Centers, for a deep dive into one of the industry's best-kept secrets. Giles shares his remarkable 25-year journey stumbling into data centers in 2000 with startup Pihana Pacific building Asia's first generation of internet data centers (which became the core of Equinix's Asian business), running Equinix Sydney operations and APAC construction, building PacNet's data center business before its sale to Telstra, creating Amazon's global data center leasing team responsible for procuring capacity outside the US, teaming up with Digital Bridge to establish what became Vantage Asia, and now leading business development for Goodman's global data center platform. He reveals how Goodman has been the "quiet achiever" of the industry, having delivered over 800MW across 20 years including Tokyo's Goodman Business Park with five data centers and 200+ MVA of power, all while flying under the radar. Giles explains Goodman's evolution from exclusively powered shells to now moving into turnkey delivery driven by customers no longer wanting third parties between them and the building, their 5-gigawatt global power bank (half firm contracted, half in late stages), major projects like a 700MW campus north of Tokyo, and presence across 13 metros on four continents. The conversation tackles the industry's critical blind spot: the collision of unprecedented construction scale (barely a day goes past without another gigawatt campus announcement) with dramatically increasing complexity as liquid-to-chip cooling and 800-volt DC distribution require licensed tradespeople for moves/adds/changes, plus chip evolution driving complete data center refits every five years - meaning the industry needs far more skilled people than ever before. -- GET IN TOUCH -- ▹Visit our Website:- https://thewayofward.com/ ▹LinkedIn:-   / ward-hampton-b15a4a28
