Dr. Teresa Nick Appointed Chair of iMasons Sustainability Committee

iMasons has appointed Dr. Teresa Nick, Microsoft's Director of Natural Systems and Sustainability, as Chair of its Sustainability Committee. Nick is also part of the CTO organization of Microsoft Cloud Operations and Infrastructure. 

With AI driving an explosion in demand for digital infrastructure and the electricity to power it, now is the time to prioritize sustainability and global environmental protection. iMasons commits to sustainable digital infrastructure and the Sustainability Committee is the tip of that spear, focusing on key initiatives, including:

  • Carbon reduction strategies for hyperscale and colocation data centers.
  • Water efficiency and responsible resource management
  • Energy optimization to reduce operational costs and environmental impact
  • Industry best practices and reporting framework

As Chair of the committee, Dr. Nick will lead these efforts to drive sustainable innovation,  boost environmental responsibility, and set new industry standards.

Strengthening Industry Leadership in Sustainability

Joining Teresa in leadership, Josh Hatch and Dan Rapp have been appointed co-chairs of the committee. Josh is the Principal at Brightworks Sustainability. Dan is the Sr. Director of Responsible Business and Environmental Affairs at Vertiv.

“It is truly an honor and an incredible opportunity to accelerate the sustainability of the global digital infrastructure industry. I am excited to collaborate with Dan, Josh, and colleagues across the industry to drive meaningful change and innovation together.“ said Nick.

The Sustainability Committee Chair is a key role at iMasons. It engages with global tech leaders and shapes green data center initiatives. The committee promotes energy-efficient data centers and forms partnerships as the industry seeks net-zero emissions.

In 2022 the iMasons Sustainability Committee created the basis for the launch and foundation of the successful iMasons Climate Accord, a coalition of more than 200 companies with a combined market cap of $8T USD with the focus of carbon accounting and carbon reduction initiatives for the Digital Infrastructure Industry 

"We're pleased that leaders like Teresa, Dan, and Josh share our passion for sustainable development and global environmental protection," said Santiago Suinaga, iMasons' CEO. "Their expertise will help drive impactful change in sustainability for digital infrastructure. We can’t wait to see the progress they make.”

Congratulations to Teresa, Josh, and Dan on their new leadership roles! We expect a positive impact on iMasons and the digital infrastructure community.
