In 2013, our founders Jason Okroy and Lee Kirby recognized a critical gap in the data center industry: while facilities were becoming increasingly complex, the talent pool to operate and maintain them was shrinking. They saw an opportunity to bridge this divide by creating a company that could deliver comprehensive, integrated lifecycle services for data centers worldwide, while simultaneously creating meaningful career pathways for military veterans.
What started as a mission to serve those who served has evolved into Salute, a global leader in data center services with over 2,480 employees across 12 global offices. From advising on feasibility studies to designing, building, operating, commissioning, and refreshing critical infrastructure, Salute partners with 80% of the world's data center operators across hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, edge, and cryptocurrency markets. Our military-rooted culture of precision, accountability, and continuous improvement enables us to deliver predictable quality at scale, servicing over 6,000 MW of data center capacity across 102+ markets worldwide. Delivering sustainable outcomes starts and ends with us.
