en.Wedoany.com Reported - US digital infrastructure developer and operator STACK Infrastructure officially announced on May 5, 2026, the appointment of Bobby Hollis as Chief Development Officer for the Americas. Hollis will take full charge of and further integrate the company's growth engine, with responsibilities spanning key areas including development, site selection, pre-construction, and power strategy.
According to the appointment announcement, upon assuming the role, Hollis will directly lead campus-level growth strategy and market expansion prioritization, while holding full responsibility for the end-to-end power strategy, specifically including grid interconnection, utility and independent system operator relationship management, and the development and implementation of alternative energy solutions. As STACK continues to expand its deployment across core markets in the Americas, Hollis's arrival aims to drive more coordinated planning and execution cadence.
Hollis joins STACK from Microsoft, where he served as Vice President of Energy, leading global power strategy for hyperscale infrastructure. Prior to that, he held leadership roles at Meta and Rowan Digital Infrastructure, with a long-standing focus on data center development and energy strategy. During his tenure at Meta, he led global data center development and the procurement of over 6 gigawatts of new renewable energy projects.
Matt VanderZanden, CEO of STACK Americas, stated in a release that as demand for digital infrastructure continues to accelerate, how and where to build is becoming increasingly complex; Hollis has spent his entire career at the intersection of energy, development, and business strategy, and the company looks forward to the leadership and deep technical expertise he brings.
STACK Infrastructure has recently continued to scale its deployment in the Americas market. In February 2026, the company announced a multi-campus investment project advancing in Caddo and Bossier Parishes in northwest Louisiana, with a total investment of approximately $12 billion, partnering with Amazon to build hyperscale data centers. The project is expected to create over 1,500 construction jobs and provide more than 540 permanent full-time positions upon operation. One of Bobby Hollis's top priorities after taking office will be to drive the synergistic efficiency of site selection, power access, and pre-construction for such projects, further solidifying STACK's delivery capabilities in the North American hyperscale data center market.
