Montera Infrastructure Welcomes Chris Klem to Leadership Team

Montera Infrastructure is making waves in the digital infrastructure sector by announcing the appointment of Chris Klem as their new Senior Vice President of Business Development and Hyperscale Accounts. With a storied career spanning over two decades, Klem brings invaluable experience and a proven track record of driving remarkable growth in the digital infrastructure arena.

In his new role, Klem will spearhead Montera's commercial strategy, focusing on expanding market reach and leasing initiatives, especially for hyperscale companies—those that require expansive digital solutions to support enormous volumes of data. He will be instrumental in helping the company achieve its vision of scaling next-generation digital infrastructure to meet increasing demands in cloud computing and AI workloads across North America.

Proven Expertise in Digital Infrastructure Growth

Klem's previous experience at Intersect as Head of Data Centers and Business Development Strategy has laid a solid foundation for his new role at Montera. At Intersect, he played a pivotal role in orchestrating the go-to-market and leasing strategies for a robust multi-gigawatt data center portfolio, strategically co-located with renewable energy sources. His leadership led to the significant growth of the company, culminating in its acquisition by Alphabet in the same year.

Moreover, Klem has held key positions at Crane Data Centers and T5 Data Centers, where he further accelerated revenue and company growth. His unique blend of skills—ranging from design and engineering expertise to the nuanced understanding of complex contractual agreements—has made him an asset across every company he’s been part of.

Eanna Murphy, the Founder and CEO of Montera, commended Klem's abilities, stating, "Chris has a truly unique set of skills in our industry which will make him a tremendous asset not only to Montera but to our customers. He is fluent in design, engineering, delivery, and complex contractual processes—all of which enable our customers to accelerate their data center projects."

The team's deep sector expertise, coupled with Stonepeak as a strategic capital partner, perfectly positions Montera to capture and support the digital infrastructure industry's explosive growth across North America."
