Craig McKesson brings more than 30 years of data center and mission-critical infrastructure experience to his role as Chief Commercial O icer at Takanock. Backed by ArcLight and DigitalBridge, Takanock deploys co-located gas generation to bridge utility interconnection timelines for hyperscale and AI data centers — then keeps that capacity running as permanent front-of-meter grid support and dispatchable backup once energized. It's a model that accelerates deployment, eliminates diesel dependency, and turns what has historically been the industry's biggest bottleneck into a solved problem. Prior to Takanock, Craig spent over a decade helping build T5 Data Centers into a leading full-lifecycle data center services company. There, he led global commercial strategy and sustainability initiatives, earning recognition as an Infrastructure Masons IM100 honoree. Earlier in his career, Craig served as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force, working on Delta II/GPS satellite launch programs. He holds an MBA from University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a BS in Industrial Engineering from the University of Miami (FL).
