Mike Cornelia

Data center operations Director. Over a decade at hyperscale.
Building and operating infrastructure at gigawatt scale.

I lead data center operations for Meta’s South region — ~24% of Meta’s GPU fleet and total megawatts, one of the largest concentrations of AI compute infrastructure in the industry.

Before that, I spent a decade in IT infrastructure, building systems from the ground up for organizations that needed things to just work.

The problems I’m most focused on: scaling operations through the double-digit gigawatt mark, putting AI to work in infrastructure — not just talking about it — and solving the workforce gap the industry isn’t addressing.
