Flexential Hires Greg Ogle as CIO to Accelerate IT Transformation and AI Strategy

Data center veteran to drive AI integration and advance security across Flexential's operations and customer-facing systems

DENVER, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexential, a leading provider of secure and flexible data center solutions, has appointed Greg Ogle as Chief Information Officer (CIO) to unify its internal technology systems, strengthen cybersecurity oversight, and lead the next phase of its digital and AI-enabled transformation.

Ogle brings more than 25 years of experience aligning enterprise IT with business goals, most recently as Vice President of Global IT Infrastructure and Cloud Operations at Equinix. In that role, he directed global networks, cloud platforms, and enterprise applications, and served a board-appointed term as the interim Chief Information Security Officer.

As Flexential's CIO, Ogle will also oversee enterprise systems, cloud architecture, data governance, and AI integration. Additionally, he will shape IT policy and investment strategy, support compliance efforts, and modernize the company's digital foundation. His appointment comes as demand for hybrid infrastructure and AI-ready capacity accelerates, and data center vacancy rates dipped to a low of 1.6% in primary North American markets earlier this year.

"Greg has a proven track record of leading IT in complex, high-stakes environments," said Ryan Mallory, President & COO at Flexential. "He brings the operational discipline and forward-looking vision we need as we embed AI more deeply into our technology and processes. Greg's leadership will ensure our systems are more intelligent, resilient, and efficient, enhancing both the employee experience and the way customers engage with our services.

Ogle's immediate focus will be on unifying Flexential's technology stack, building a standardized architecture for digital services, and embedding AI across IT operations. His broader strategy includes streamlining platform portfolios and engineering processes, as well as reinforcing governance through centralized tools and policies.

"Flexential is at a pivotal moment, where the convergence of AI, cloud, and hybrid infrastructure are reshaping how enterprises operate," said Greg Ogle, CIO at Flexential. "I'm excited to build on Flexential's strong foundation to deliver technology that is smarter, more secure, and more connected. My focus will be on ensuring our digital backbone not only supports today's needs but also provides the resiliency and trust our customers require as we prepare for the opportunities of tomorrow."

Ogle's appointment follows a series of recent leadership moves at Flexential aimed at supporting its long-term infrastructure strategy. In July, the company appointed Thomas Bailey as Vice President of Energy and Matthew Baumann as Vice President of Site Acquisition to expand development capacity and secure long-term power access. Flexential has also raised approximately $1 billion from GI Partners, GI Data Infrastructure, Hamilton Lane, and Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners in the last 12 months to support its continued expansion.
