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, a move aimed at strengthening the company's capital markets expertise and corporate governance as it continues rapid growth.
The appointment comes at a pivotal time for EdgeMode as the company expands what it believes is now the largest AI infrastructure development pipeline in Europe, currently totaling approximately 4.35GW under development in Spain.
Kiero-Watson is a highly experienced securities and capital markets specialist with a strong track record across small-cap public markets, exchange platforms, corporate finance, and growth company advisory. He currently serves as Head of Markets at Tokenise Stock Exchange Group, and also works as a corporate finance advisor and listing sponsor, advising on numerous public market listings and growth company financings.
Previously, Kiero-Watson held senior positions at ICAP Securities and Derivatives Exchange (ISDX) and GXG Markets AB, where he served as Head of Markets. He was also responsible for launching the first UK-approved Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) investment fund offered to the public—a significant milestone within the UK growth capital market. Before moving into capital markets, he was a highly successful 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 an important role as EdgeMode continues scaling its AI infrastructure platform and broadening market participation.
EdgeMode is currently developing approximately 4.35GW of AI-ready data center capacity across Spain through its strategic partnerships and development platform. 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 demand for AI infrastructure accelerates globally, EdgeMode continues to position 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,” said Charlie Faulkner, CEO of EdgeMode. “Simon’s appointment further strengthens our governance and reinforces our commitment to building a world-class AI infrastructure platform with strong public market alignment.”
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.”
