New York, May 2025 – New York-founded recruitment firm Metric is proud to announce the successful placement of Sarah Georgiades as Vice President of Community Affairs at a global data center development platform formed as a joint venture between ACS Group and Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), part of BlackRock. Launched with an initial portfolio of 1.7 GW of projects under development across Europe, the United States, and Australia, and a broader pipeline exceeding 11 GW, the platform combines ACS Group’s world-class engineering and construction capabilities with GIP’s global investment expertise to deliver next-generation digital infrastructure at scale.
The search was led by George Bacon, Business Development Manager at Metric.
Of the process, Sarah Georgiades commented: “What differentiates George is his ability to operate as a strategic talent advisor, not just a recruiter. His understanding of the data center sector, leadership dynamics, compensation positioning, and organizational fit allowed him to navigate a highly nuanced VP-level process with credibility and transparency. He is clearly viewed as a trusted partner by both candidates and executive leadership teams.”
Speaking of the placement, George Bacon stated: “The relationship between hyperscale data center developers and the communities in which these campuses are being built has never been more crucial. Sarah is someone who can cut through the noise and bring real clarity around the benefits of data centers to communities and the public more broadly. This is a critical hire, in a critical function, and it was a pleasure to play my part.”
