“I can’t think of a more important issue or a more relevant company to contribute to than T.Loop. What constitutes a sustainable data center needs to be constantly redefined and the boundaries of what is sufficient energy efficiency constantly pushed.

I look forward to contributing to putting T.Loop’s circular concept on the map and realizing the next sustainability transformation in the industry,” says Mathias Strand, former General Counsel at Microsoft and newly appointed board member of T.Loop.
