The Hidden Infrastructure Powering AI with Tom Currier

AI does not run on chips alone. It depends on the electrical infrastructure, manufacturing capacity and skilled workforce required to turn megawatts into compute.In this episode, Kirk Offel sits down with Tom Currier, founder, president and CEO of Maverick Power, to trace the company’s rise from four founders and a 90-day cash runway to nearly 1,000 employees across seven locations.Tom explains how Maverick used customized designs, supply-chain flexibility and faster execution to compete with established electrical manufacturers. He also discusses why data center development is rapidly shifting from a construction mindset to a manufacturing mindset—and how modularization can shorten schedules without sacrificing safety or quality.Kirk and Tom also examine the jobs created throughout the data center ecosystem, the industry’s responsibility to engage local communities, career paths for wiring and field-service technicians, and Maverick’s support of the Build Now workforce training program.At the center of the conversation is a simple idea: the people manufacturing the infrastructure behind AI are not merely supplying data centers. They are building the future.For more about us: https://weareoverwatch.com/data-center-revolution-podcast/For guest inquiries reach out to: podcasts@weareoverwatch.com
