Investor Briefing Featured Keynote
Investing at AI Scale: How Switch is Building Infrastructure that Lowers Costs and Leads the Market
Madonna Park
Chief Financial Officer, Switch
Artificial intelligence is driving one of the largest infrastructure investment cycles in modern history. By 2030, global data center power demand is projected to exceed 200 gigawatts, with AI campuses now measured in hundreds of megawatts rather than tens. In this environment, capital discipline, long-term energy strategy, and market alignment separate leaders from followers.
In this CFO keynote, Madonna Park will outline how Switch has positioned itself as a category leader through deliberate capital allocation, large-scale campus development, and deep integration with energy markets. She will discuss how Switch is investing in high-density AI infrastructure while simultaneously advancing grid partnerships that lower long-term electricity costs for ratepayers. At a time when many question whether data center growth burdens communities, Switch offers a differentiated model that aligns infrastructure expansion with economic stability, power innovation, and responsible growth.
