Former Google Energy Executive Joins Anthropic's New Energy Team

April 21, 2026
Sana Ouji, a longtime Google energy and data center executive, has joined Anthropic to help build its new energy team focused on scaling global data center operations.

Sana Ouji, a former Google executive specializing in data center energy strategy, has joined Anthropic's new energy team, reports Data Center Dynamics. Ouji spent more than six years at Google, most recently managing strategic investments and partnerships for data center energy.

At Anthropic, Ouji will collaborate with Ariel Horowitz and Tim Hughes on the company's first dedicated energy team. Horowitz joined in March after serving as deputy director of grid modernization at the US Department of Energy, and Hughes arrived in February from Stack Infrastructure, where he was chief development officer.

The team will work on developing and executing a global energy strategy to support Anthropic's expanding data center portfolio. The company recently committed to covering the full cost of grid upgrades required to connect new data centers in the United States.

Ouji joins several former Google employees now at Anthropic, including head of data center infrastructure Winnie Leung, data center construction lead Brett Rogers, and design lead Liwen Mao. Anthropic continues to recruit for additional data center roles as it increases its infrastructure footprint through partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, and Google.
