Sherif Rizkalla

TITLE : CEO ITALY & SWITZERLAND COMPANY : STACK INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRY : DATA CENTRE LOCATION : MILAN , ITALY
A seasoned technology leader ,
Rizkalla ’ s career has seen him work in a variety of industries , including telecommunications and data centre , across many geographies . He joined STACK Infrastructure in Europe in 2019 .
and over wider geographies . All of STACK ’ s operational facilities , like MIL01 , run on 100 % renewable energy – a mixture of renewable energy procurement and onsite solar .
“ Renewable energy is an essential part of any net zero strategy for any company . When it comes to our greenhouse gas emissions , we are actively exploring the procurement and the usage of green concrete as well as recycled steel . Not only that , but most recently we conducted a holistic carbon footprint analysis of all of our operations . That means that we have a closer grip on our emissions hotspots in terms of Scope 1 , 2 and 3 . It also allows us to now start to directly link that to reduction targets and strategies for EMEA more broadly .”
And that ’ s not all . STACK in EMEA is reducing its PUE and WE as well as pioneering the reuse of waste heat across Europe .
