Chicago, IL – January 14, 2026 – Joe Amara Executive Search is pleased to announce the successful placement of a Vice President of Engineering with a rapidly growing digital infrastructure company developing utility-scale power generation co-located with newly built data centers.
The platform is advancing several gigawatts of projects across its development pipeline, with a major asset entering construction this year. The model reflects a significant shift in global infrastructure strategy: power generation and data center development are no longer operating independently—they are being designed, financed, and executed in parallel.
The newly appointed Vice President of Engineering will play a critical role in aligning generation design, interconnection strategy, construction readiness, and capital deployment timelines. As hyperscale demand accelerates and grid constraints tighten, engineering leadership has become central to investment outcomes.
“Data centers are now shaping generation strategy, siting decisions, and capital allocation,” said Joe Amara, President of Joe Amara Executive Search. “We’re proud to partner with clients building integrated platforms that require leaders capable of navigating complex power markets while executing at speed.”
Joe Amara Executive Search partners with private equity firms, infrastructure funds, independent power producers, and developers operating at the intersection of power generation and digital infrastructure. The firm specializes in placing senior leaders who thrive in complex, capital-intensive environments.
As energy security and digital growth continue to converge, leadership remains the defining variable.
