NDC-GARBE reinforces its data center development service leadership team for Europe

Data center developer NDC-GARBE is expanding its leadership team. Dominic Lees was just appointed Chief Development Officer and Managing Director of NDC-GARBE Data Centers Europe GmbH (NDC-GARBE). He joins the team of Christian Kallenbach (Sales), Peter Pohlschroeder (Commercial) and Herbert Radlinger (Solutions).
In his new role, Dominic will be responsible for coordinating the planning and development of data centers within GARBE’s European activities.

Dominic commented: "I am loving being a part of the NDC-GARBE team. We have a proven permitting, design and delivery record for fast-track, build-to-suit and high-density data centers in Europe. Combine that specialist knowledge with the wider GARBE team’s expertise in funding, acquiring and permitting large scale industrial and logistics campuses across the Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities of Europe, and you have a logical and compelling offer to bring to the market. It's an exciting opportunity for all!”
