Immersion cooling specialist Asperitas has announced that Peter Uelen has now joined the management team as chief commercial officer.

Peter has an extensive background in the data centre industry, having previously held management positions with IBM, Lucent Technologies, Schneider Electric and Vertiv.

He takes over the role from Wim Buters, who was responsible for the commercial and business development activities for two years and who is now set to enjoy his retirement.

Rolf Brink, Asperitas CEO commented, “We’re happy and proud to announce Peter’s appointment to the team. We have arrived at a crucial phase of scaling up and working with global partners and customers. We trust that his experience, knowledge and network will be of great value to Asperitas.”

Peter added, “The Asperitas Immersed Computing technology is very innovative. It’s not only an enabler for next generations of IT hardware, but it will also strongly contribute to a more sustainable data centre industry.

“We are in a position to continue our leadership in the immersion cooling market, with a strong and focused product portfolio validated by enterprise level users and strategic partners like Shell to enable carbon neutral data centres globally.”

Peter brings over 30 years of experience in developing and managing international business and teams in IT, telecom and data centre infrastructure industries.

A common thread in his career is the introduction of new technologies. Peter is passionate about customers and building successful teams and holds a Master’s degree in Business Economics from the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
