TRAILBLAZER
Betting Big on the Future of Digital Infrastructure Company: Name: Marc Ganzi Job Title: President and CEO
T
he President and CEO of DigitalBridge, Marc Ganzi, has spent more than two decades as one of the most influential leaders in the digital infrastructure and real estate sectors. From telco towers to wireless connectivity infrastructure, Ganzi has consistently proven himself a shrewd investor and capable business leader. Now, he’s betting big on the role of data centres in the digitally transformed world for tomorrow. In a recent interview, Ganzi painted a picture of a hyper-personalised, hyperintelligent world, where wearables, biometric security, and highly automated smart apartments that know how much “Pellegrino, butter, eggs, whatever” to order online every morning are the norm. “We’re creatures of habit; we like what we like,” he explained, adding that “generally speaking, 90% of those decisions we’d certainly like made for us.” Ganzi’s more than just a blue sky futurist, however; he’s throwing his considerable business acumen and capital resources behind ventures intended to support (and profit from) the new age of intelligent real estate.
