[Photo: CyrusOne] Dallas-based CyrusOne, a global data center owner, developer and operator, named John Hatem CEO and a member of the company's board of directors, effective immediately. Eric Schwartz, who led CyrusOne during significant expansion, is stepping down as CEO and will work with Hatem as part of the company's succession plan. Hatem joined CyrusOne in 2011 and has held a series of increasingly senior roles across the business. Last September, he was named president, overseeing global sales and procurement along with U.S. design, engineering and construction. The company said that his extensive experience has helped establish CyrusOne as one of the world's leading digital infrastructure providers for hyperscale and enterprise customers. Hatem has built a reputation for leadership, strategic vision, operational expertise and a deep understanding of the market dynamics impacting the future of digital infrastructure. "In his nearly 15 years with CyrusOne, John has become the heart and soul of the company, having established a strong track record of building outstanding teams, carrying out winning strategies and leading operations that must continue to move at the speed of technological innovation," board members Waldemar Szlezak, partner at KKR, and Will Brilliant, partner at Global Infrastructure Partners, said in a joint statement. KKR and Global Infrastructure Partners took CyrusOne private in a roughly $15 billion deal that closed in 2022. The company now operates more than 60 data centers in the United States, Europe and Japan. Leading through growth Szlezak and Brilliant said that Hatem has earned the trust of leading enterprises, of the communities where CyrusOne operates and of his teammates. "The opportunity for CyrusOne has never been greater," they said. "And we are confident that John is the right person to guide the company forward. No one understands the company's customers, capabilities and potential more deeply than he does." Szlezak and Brilliant also praised the contributions of outgoing CEO Schwartz, who came to CyrusOne in 2022. When he arrived, he was the fifth CyrusOne CEO in three years, bringing stability to the role. "He and the team have delivered a period of record revenue growth and profitability marked by the largest customer expansion in our history, and we are grateful for his leadership," Szlezak and Brilliant said. "Today, CyrusOne is a stronger, larger and better company that is poised to capitalize on the extraordinary demand for AI infrastructure." Schwartz expressed optimism about the company's future. "It has been a privilege to lead CyrusOne, and I could not be more confident in John's leadership to take the company into its next phase of growth," he said. Extensive data center experience Hatem has led nearly every operating function of the business, including land and power, procurement, IT and sales. He left CyrusOne in 2019, then returned in October 2020 as chief operating officer. "The team at CyrusOne has built something special: a company with the engineering discipline, operational expertise, and talented personnel to deliver world-class data center capacity at the speed and scale that our customers expect," Hatem said. "I have never been more excited about what lies ahead. As workloads become more power-intensive and demand for faster delivery grows, our structural advantages have never mattered more." Before joining CyrusOne, Hatem served as the director of design and construction for ConceptCSI Global Data Center Solutions.

CyrusOne files to develop three buildings for $1.5bn data center campus in Fairfield, Texas. Construction has commenced on two of the three buildings, with the third to be started next month July 31, 2026 CyrusOne has filed to develop three buildings for a new data center campus in Fairfield, Texas, located next to Calpine's Freestone natural gas power plant. Construction permits have been filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for three buildings at the campus, located on the FM 488 highway in Fairfield, Freestone County, Texas, around 90 miles (144.8km) south of Dallas. Data center company CyrusOne has partnered with Calpine LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation Energy Corporation, and the operator of the Freestone Energy Campus, on this 760MW data center project. Full details of the project hadn't previously been announced. Set to cost $1.5 billion, the data centers will be powered by the Freestone Energy Campus 1GW natural gas-fired combined-cycle facility, which covers approximately 506 acres. CyrusOne has broken ground on two of the three facilities, with construction of the third due to commence next month. The data center campus is expected to be completed by the end of August 2027. The data center development comprises three one-story insulated pre-cast buildings (with accessory support spaces) named DFW20A, DFW20B, and DFW20C. Each building will be 306,215 sq ft (28,450 sqm) in size, totaling 918,650 sq ft (85,345 sqm). As of yet, no tenants have been assigned to any of the three facilities, according to the TDLR filings. CyrusOne is owned by investment funds KKR and Global Infrastructure Partners, and has more than 60 operational data centers in nine countries around the world, spread across Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America. In Texas alone, it operates 15 data centers. Constellation is the largest nuclear energy company in the United States and acquired Calpine, the largest geothermal and natural gas company in the country, in a deal that closed in January 2026. CyrusOne and Calpine have partnered on another data center project located next to the Thad Hill Energy Campus natural gas power plant, announced in July 2025. The 400MW data center campus is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2026. More in construction & site selection.
