Todd Coleman and Taylor Hammond of eStruxture are helping to turn Canada into a world-leading location for data centre projects
Canada is emerging as a powerhouse in the global data centre industry. At the forefront of this transformation is eStruxture, the largest Canadian data centre provider, which is executing an ambitious strategy to position Canada as a premier destination for digital infrastructure.
Todd Coleman launched eStruxture in February 2017. As Founder, Chairman, President and CEO, he leads a company that now operates 16 facilities across four major Canadian markets. Today, the business serves more than 750 corporate customers, ranging from small enterprises to the world’ s largest hyperscalers.
“ We founded the company because we forecast that power densities were going to increase over the years, and more importantly, data was going to localise in Canada,” Todd explains. Todd describes himself as“ a recovering lawyer” who made the transition to entrepreneurship, where he has since made a name for himself in the tech sector.
“ The benefit of being a lawyer is it teaches you how to think,” he says.“ It teaches you to ask a lot of questions and encourages you to be comfortable not knowing what you don’ t know.” That questioning mindset served him well as he moved from law to technology.
