Pennsylvania Data Center Partners has named Grant Denham as Chief of Staff, a newly created role on the leadership team. Reporting to CEO Igal Feibush, Denham will help guide acquisition, development and capital markets strategy as the company advances responsible hyperscale data center development across the Commonwealth. Based at the company’s headquarters in Central Pennsylvania, Denham will manage projects throughout Pennsylvania and support other developments across the U.S.
