Jeremy DyerHOST
So I just want to maybe get your kind of comments on if I'm thinking about this the right way.

Eric ChuGUEST
10 years ago, when we developed, back then, the top of the year data centers, we're talking about 4 kilowatts, 6 kilowatts per rack.

What early experience first shaped how you think about money, about risk, and about opportunity?

Eric ChuGUEST
I, I think if I may, let, let me sort of do a quick introduction of my background just to put some context for the audience and just to know where I'm coming from and where some of the sort of, sort of references, the talk points that I will be mentioning, where are those are coming from.

Eric ChuGUEST
So, you know, um, being in the financial services industry for almost 20 years after business school from NYU Stern, I joined an investment bank covering telecommunication services companies, including data centers, fiber optic companies, and, and then followed by a couple of years at hedge funds doing long-short equity investments for a variety of industries.

Eric ChuGUEST
And then, and then later on had the experience joining a, um, publicly traded data center company as one of their, uh, senior executives in charge of capital market activities.

Eric ChuGUEST
And, and also later on, uh, I went into operations, very deep into operations, actively developing data centers, financing d- uh, data centers, and working with institutional investors, uh, along the, along the way.

Eric ChuGUEST
You know, we brought in, uh, one of the top premier, uh, private equity firms, Warburg Pincus, and then, uh, we back then, about almost 10 years ago now looking back, we formed one of the largest and the earliest data center development platforms in Asia.

Eric ChuGUEST
Yeah, so when I was an analyst, I used to be a telecommunications coverage analyst, covering companies such as data centers, which I mentioned earlier, as well as wireless carriers, AT&T, Verizon, and also Amazon.

Eric ChuGUEST
And interestingly, I would point out is, you know, data centers has been for about the last 20 years, a crossover industry between real estate and technology.

Eric ChuGUEST
20 years ago, when I, you know, before this is even before I started coverage, one of the now the largest data center companies sort of first became publicly listed companies.

Eric ChuGUEST
Data centers were pretty much a technology play, right? These were companies that are very good at networking equipment, computing equipment, data storage equipment, and essentially hosting, providing hosting services.

Eric ChuGUEST
But over the last 20 years, more and more of these traditional technology-focused data center providers, they have taken over the real estate behind the data centers.
