Co-chair of the Digital Infrastructure, Data Center and Cloud Computing Group of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, Kemal Hawa will moderate a panel at International Telecoms Week May 15 at the Gaylord Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.
Hawa, a member of the firm’s Washington, D.C., office, will serve as a moderator for the panel discussion “How is AI revolutionising data centre design?” The session will delve into the implications of how AI applications, particularly as they merge with exascale supercomputing, demand increasingly larger amounts of data, and how that is reshaping data center development.
The panel will also feature Nathan Blom, Chief Commercial Officer at Iceotope; Scott Mills, Senior Vice President, Engineering and Customer Solutions at Digital Realty; Doug Loewe, CEO at Kao Data; and Leanne Starace, Senior Vice President of Global Technical Sales & Solutions at Equinix.
Hawa represents many of the world’s largest private equity firms, infrastructure funds, real estate investors, and lenders across a broad range of transactions in the digital infrastructure sector domestically and internationally, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A), investments, financing arrangements, joint ventures, and development projects. Hawa also represents dozens of companies throughout the digital infrastructure and telecommunications, media, and technology industry, including many of the world’s largest data center operators, telecommunications carriers, tower companies, cloud providers, fiber providers, media companies, submarine cable operators, fintech companies, wireless and international carriers, internet service providers, satellite companies, equipment manufacturers, and electric utilities. In addition to M&A and financing transactions, he represents companies in connection with a full spectrum of other transactions globally, including the negotiation of data center leases and colocation agreements, telecommunications master service agreements, licensing deals, and other commercial transactions.
