Riot Platforms (RIOT) has made the decision to hire industry veteran Jonathan Gibbs as its director of data centers, representing a strategic move for the bitcoin miner to expand beyond cryptocurrency and into the broader data infrastructure sector.
Gibbs has more than 15 years of experience and an impressive resume that includes designing and building over one gigawatt of data center capacity across North America, Europe, and Asia. Most recently, he served as executive vice president at Prime Data Centers, where he managed projects across the United States.
Now he’s tasked with launching Riot’s new data center platform, which is aimed at organizations that need significant computing power to support cloud services and artificial intelligence. The company plans to build non-Bitcoin facilities using the 1.7 gigawatts of power it has at its disposal.
CEO Jason Les said the new initiative will “scale aggressively” to meet growing demand. If successful, Riot could join a growing list of former mining companies reorienting themselves as key players in the AI and cloud infrastructure boom.
