Former JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs data center executive joins the distributed AI infrastructure platform to accelerate growth.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, June 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — EdgeNebula today announced the appointment of Mike Allen, Chief Operating Officer of Verne and former Global Head of Data Center Strategy, Engineering and Operations at JPMorgan Chase, to its Advisory Board effective July 1.
With more than 25 years of experience leading critical infrastructure programmes across global financial institutions and data centre operators, Mike brings deep expertise in infrastructure strategy, engineering, operations, capital deployment, risk management and large-scale technology transformation. Prior to joining Verne, Mike held senior leadership positions at JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and ABN AMRO, where he was responsible for some of the world’s most demanding and mission-critical data centre environments.
Peter Hannaford, Founder and CEO of EdgeNebula, said: “Mike’s experience is unique in our industry. He has led infrastructure strategy and operations for some of the world’s largest financial institutions and now helps drive one of Europe’s leading AI and high-performance computing data centre platforms. His understanding of how customers evaluate risk, resilience, scalability and investment decisions will be invaluable as EdgeNebula grows its distributed AI infrastructure platform.”
His appointment comes as EdgeNebula accelerates the deployment of its distributed compute mesh strategy, combining AI-optimised edge data centres with OrionOS, its intelligent orchestration platform designed to enable sovereign, low-latency AI inference and cloud services.
Commenting on his appointment, Mike Allen said: “EdgeNebula is addressing one of the most important infrastructure challenges created by the growth of AI — how to bring compute closer to users while maintaining sovereignty, performance and sustainability. The company’s vision for a distributed network of AI-enabled edge data centres, coordinated through OrionOS, is both ambitious and timely. I look forward to supporting the team as they continue to execute on this strategy.”
