Mr Uelen has an extensive background in the data centre industry, having previously held management positions with IBM, Lucent Technologies, Schneider Electric and Vertiv. He takes over the role from Wim Buters, who was responsible for the commercial and business development activities for two years and who is now set to enjoy his retirement.

Rolf Brink, Asperitas chief executive said: “We’re happy and proud to announce Peter’s appointment to the team. We have arrived at a crucial phase of scaling up and working with global partners and customers. We trust that his experience, knowledge and network will be of great value to Asperitas.”

Mr Uelen added: “The Asperitas immersed computing technology is very innovative. It’s not only an enabler for next generations of IT hardware, but it will also strongly contribute to a more sustainable data centre industry. We are in a position to continue our leadership in the immersion cooling market, with a strong and focused product portfolio validated by enterprise level users and strategic partners like Shell to enable carbon neutral data centres globally.”
