FLOW Digital Infrastructure, the digital infrastructure platform of PAG, an APAC-focused investment firm, has appointed Ken Marron as its new chief technology officer (CTO), effective immediately.
He will be based in Tokyo.
Marron will lead the company’s technology strategy, development and operations across the Asia Pacific region.
Before FLOW, he was the general manager of the data centre business at CapitaLand (Japan).
FLOW’s CEO, Sanjay Goel, said, "We are excited to welcome Ken to lead the technology strategy, development and operations functions at FLOW.”
“I am confident that Ken will drive our technology initiatives as we establish an industry-leading centre of excellence for design and engineering, while continuing to strengthen local and regional partnerships across the APAC data centre market,” said Goel.
“It is critical to ensure we deliver for our customers with speed to market, cost efficiencies and top-tier engineering and operational capabilities,” he added.
Marron has held several leadership positions at data centre developers and operators, including NEXTDC and Yondr.
He brings over three decades of experience in data centre construction, architecture and real estate, having worked extensively across Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Europe.
Prior to that, he spent a decade in London with Takenaka Komuten, managing large-scale developments across Europe.
Since its establishment in 2021, FLOW has built a portfolio of eleven assets across Japan, Korea, the Philippines and Malaysia, representing over 193MW of current and planned IT capacity.
The company recently announced the build-out of a new data centre in Central Tokyo, comprising two buildings - TK7 and TK8 - with a combined IT load of 30MW.
The first building, TK7, with 6MW IT load, is scheduled to be ready for service in Q1 2027.
