New York, August 2026 – Michael joins Coravel from Oracle, where he served as Director of Data Center and Network Delivery for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. He takes up the role of Vice President of Operations Technology, responsible for the OT strategy powering Coravel’s AI and cloud infrastructure at hyperscale.
Coravel is a global, integrated digital infrastructure company backed by ACS Group and Global Infrastructure Partners, part of BlackRock. Bringing together power strategy, site origination, design, construction, capital, and operations through one accountable partner, Coravel is helping hyperscalers and leading technology companies deliver digital infrastructure with greater speed, certainty, and accountability. With a 1.7 GW development portfolio and 1.2 GW IT load across the US, Europe, and Australia, Coravel is delivering at global
scale.
Identifying the right leader for this role demanded both deep technical understanding and a clear grasp of the operational complexity inherent in a platform growing at this speed.
The search was led by George Bacon, Metric DCX.
Reflecting on the process, Michael Warrior commented: “Metric are one of the most effective and strategic talent partners I’ve worked with. They took the time to understand my background in data center delivery, infrastructure, and operations at scale, and more importantly, how to position that experience against executive leadership expectations. Their ability to match the right opportunity with the right leader is exceptional.”
Of the partnership with Metric DCX, Coravel commented: “The partnership we have executed between Metric DCX and our platform has been incredibly successful. George brings what most can’t, commitments that materialize into outcomes that matter for our business. He is a valued partner and a trusted extension of our leadership team.”
Speaking of the placement, George Bacon commented: “Coravel is building something genuinely significant, a fully integrated digital infrastructure platform serving the hyperscale market. Michael’s background in data center delivery and infrastructure operations at scale made him an outstanding fit, and it was a privilege to support Coravel in securing him at such a defining moment for the business.”
