Colovore Appoints Jeffrey Springborn as CEO Amid AI Data Center Expansion
Colovore has appointed Jeffrey Springborn as its new Chief Executive Officer, announced in a press release. Springborn, a veteran in data center development and cloud services, will guide the company through its next phase of growth, focusing on scaling a national buildout strategy to meet the rising demand for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.
Springborn's appointment comes on the heels of a $925 million financing facility with Blackstone, aimed at fueling the expansion of Colovore's AI data center platform in key U.S. metro markets. The company is strategically developing new high-density, liquid-cooled facilities to align with customer roadmaps, enabling partners to secure capacity and shape infrastructure rollouts that match long-term AI and HPC growth.
With over three decades of executive experience, Springborn is focused on engaging strategic customers to anticipate future needs and align infrastructure planning to their AI roadmaps. Colovore's design enables 17–300 kW per rack, far exceeding traditional air-cooled limits, and is purpose-built for the dense, distributed, and latency-sensitive inference applications of modern AI workloads. The company is expanding its presence with AI data centers in Silicon Valley and facilities underway in Reno, Chicago, Austin, and more.
