Director, Power Development Digital Infrastructure

At Vesper, we know energy. Headquartered in the greater Dallas area, our team brings two centuries of collective renewable energy experience and has delivered more than 10 GW of renewable energy projects globally. Today, our pipeline spans over 35 renewable energy and storage projects with a generating capacity of 11+ GW — enough to power more than 2 million homes.

As we continue developing, owning, and operating renewable energy projects across the United States, Vesper is strategically positioning select assets to meet the surging demand for data center and AI infrastructure. This role sits at the center of that evolution, offering a unique opportunity to shape the future of energy at the intersection of clean power and next‑generation technology.
