EdgeMode, Inc. (OTC: EDGM), a global energy and AI data center infrastructure company, announced the appointment of Simon Kiero-Watson to its Board of Directors. The move bolsters the company's capital markets expertise and corporate governance as it expands what it believes is the largest AI infrastructure development pipeline in Europe, totaling approximately 4.35GW under development in Spain.
Kiero-Watson brings deep experience in small-cap public markets, exchange platforms, corporate finance, and growth company advisory. He currently serves as Head of Markets at Tokenise Stock Exchange Group, as a corporate finance advisor and listing sponsor, and as an advisor on numerous public market listings and growth company financings. Previously, he held senior positions at ICAP Securities and Derivatives Exchange (ISDX) and GXG Markets AB, where he also served as Head of Markets. Kiero-Watson was responsible for launching the first UK-approved Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) investment fund offered to the public, a milestone within the UK growth capital market. Before moving into capital markets, he was a commercial banking manager at Lloyds Bank.
EdgeMode believes Kiero-Watson's appointment significantly strengthens the company's capital markets expertise, public company governance, investor engagement capabilities, and strategic positioning within the small-cap and growth company ecosystem. His experience across exchange markets, listings, investor networks, and corporate finance is expected to play a key role as EdgeMode scales its AI infrastructure platform and broadens market participation.
EdgeMode is currently developing approximately 4.35GW of AI-ready data center capacity across Spain through strategic partnerships. The company's model focuses on power-secured AI infrastructure, rapid progression to Ready-to-Build (RTB), capital-efficient monetisation strategies, and strategic partnerships with hyperscalers, operators, and infrastructure investors. As global demand for AI infrastructure accelerates, EdgeMode positions itself at the intersection of AI compute demand, energy infrastructure, and capital markets growth.
“We are delighted to welcome Simon to the Board. His experience across capital markets, public company advisory, exchange platforms, and growth company financing will be extremely valuable as EdgeMode continues to scale. Simon’s appointment further strengthens our governance and reinforces our commitment to building a world-class AI infrastructure platform with strong public market alignment,” said Charlie Faulkner, CEO of EdgeMode.
Kiero-Watson commented, “EdgeMode is building a highly compelling platform at the convergence of AI, energy, and digital infrastructure. I’m excited to join the Board and support the Company as it continues executing on its growth strategy and expanding its presence within the capital markets.”
