EdgeMode Adds Capital Markets Veteran Simon Kiero-Watson to Board as AI Data Center Pipeline Grows
EdgeMode appoints Simon Kiero-Watson to its board to bolster capital markets expertise as it scales a 4.35GW AI data center pipeline in Spain.
EdgeMode, Inc. (OTC: EDGM), a global energy and AI data center infrastructure company, has appointed Simon Kiero-Watson to its Board of Directors, the company announced Wednesday. The move strengthens EdgeMode's capital markets and corporate governance capabilities as it pursues rapid expansion in AI infrastructure.
Kiero-Watson brings deep expertise in small-cap public markets, exchange platforms, corporate finance, and growth company advisory. He currently serves as Head of Markets at Tokenise Stock Exchange Group and as a corporate finance advisor and listing sponsor. Previously, he held senior positions at ICAP Securities and Derivatives Exchange and GXG Markets AB, and was responsible for launching the first UK-approved Enterprise Investment Scheme investment fund offered to the public.
The appointment comes at a pivotal time for EdgeMode, which is developing what it believes is the largest AI infrastructure pipeline in Europe—approximately 4.35GW of AI-ready data center capacity across Spain. The company's model focuses on power-secured sites, rapid progression to ready-to-build status, and capital-efficient monetization strategies through partnerships with hyperscalers, operators, and infrastructure investors.
"We are delighted to welcome Simon to the Board. His experience across capital markets, public company advisory, exchange platforms, and growth company financing will be extremely valuable as EdgeMode continues to scale," said Charlie Faulkner, CEO of EdgeMode, in a statement. "Simon's appointment further strengthens our governance and reinforces our commitment to building a world-class AI infrastructure platform with strong public market alignment."
Kiero-Watson added: "EdgeMode is building a highly compelling platform at the convergence of AI, energy, and digital infrastructure. I'm excited to join the Board and support the Company as it continues executing on its growth strategy and expanding its presence within the capital markets."
As demand for AI compute accelerates globally, EdgeMode is positioning itself at the intersection of AI compute demand, energy infrastructure, and capital markets growth. The company expects Kiero-Watson's expertise across exchange markets, listings, investor networks, and corporate finance to play an important role as it scales its AI infrastructure platform and broadens market participation.
