Takanock Strengthens Leadership with New CCO Appointment

Traverse City, Mich., July 22, 2025 — Takanock, LLC, a prominent player in integrated power solutions for the digital infrastructure sector, has recently made a strategic move to further accelerate its growth trajectory by naming Craig McKesson as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). This announcement comes on the heels of a substantial $500 million capital commitment from ArcLight and DigitalBridge, which was disclosed in June.

McKesson arrives at Takanock with an impressive background, bringing over 30 years of experience in commercial strategy, sales, and marketing across the data center and energy sectors. Prior to joining Takanock, he held the position of Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at T5 Data Centers, where he was instrumental in transforming the company into a leader in the full-lifecycle services arena.

Kenneth Davies, CEO and founder of Takanock, expressed confidence in McKesson's appointment, stating, “Craig’s leadership experience and deep understanding of both the customer and investor landscape make him the ideal addition as we operationalize our vision.” His experience has positioned him at the forefront of scalable, resilient infrastructure solutions, making him well-suited to navigate the quite challenging commercial landscape of the digital infrastructure market.

In his new role, McKesson is set to spearhead Takanock's commercial and marketing strategies. He will engage closely with customers, partners, and investors to boost the deployment of digital power infrastructure in markets facing resource constraints. McKesson emphasized the urgency of Takanock’s mission, saying, “Takanock is addressing one of the most urgent challenges in the data center industry – time to power – and doing so with a clear-eyed strategy grounded in operational and technical reality.”

His appointment comes at a critical time as Takanock has initiated long-term digital power contracts in key areas such as Northern Virginia and Phoenix, alongside developing additional sites. McKesson outlined the company’s aim to offer hyperscalers and developers a faster route to power, while effectively alleviating the pressure on existing grid infrastructure.
