Fluidstack has announced a series of key executive appointments to bolster its leadership team and drive the next phase of growth, announced in a press release. Rob Perdue, former COO of The Trade Desk, joins as Chief Operating Officer, bringing extensive experience in scaling high-growth technology companies. Perdue will focus on enhancing operational excellence and expanding AI infrastructure capabilities.

In addition to Perdue, Fluidstack has appointed Dan Carpenter as VP of Sales, Mike McDonald as VP of Product, and Katherine Ollerhead as General Counsel. Carpenter, with a background in leading global enterprise sales at AWS and Omniva, will lead Fluidstack's global go-to-market strategy.
