Theseus Infrastructure, a startup backed by Anthropic, has named a former executive from both Digital Realty and Equinix as its chief executive officer, according to Data Center Dynamics. The hire brings deep colocation and hyperscale development experience to a company building compute infrastructure tied to one of the leading AI labs. Theseus Infrastructure is positioned to develop physical AI infrastructure capacity in support of Anthropic's compute needs.
Recruiting a veteran of two of the largest colocation operators signals that Theseus Infrastructure intends to build at significant scale, not operate as a niche provider. The appointment also illustrates how established data center talent is migrating toward AI-native infrastructure startups, which could accelerate the maturation of that segment.
