As Chief Technology Officer at Digital Realty, Chris Sharp shapes strategy at the intersection of infrastructure and emerging technologies, from AI to quantum computing. Over the past decade, he has led the design and operation of more than 3 gigawatts of data center capacity, a scale few in the industry can match. Earlier in his career, he pioneered the relevance of colocation to cloud by building one of the industry’s first private on-ramps between a major financial institution and a leading hyperscaler, a milestone that mirrors today’s AI adoption curve.
