EdgeMode, Inc. (OTC: EDGM), a global energy and AI data center infrastructure company, today announced the appointment of Simon Kiero-Watson to its Board of Directors. The move strengthens the Company’s capital markets expertise and corporate governance as EdgeMode continues its rapid growth, particularly in Europe where it is developing what it believes is the largest AI infrastructure pipeline on the continent.
Simon Kiero-Watson brings deep experience in securities and capital markets, with a strong track record across small-cap public markets, exchange platforms, corporate finance, and growth company advisory. He currently serves as Head of Markets at Tokenise Stock Exchange Group and as a corporate finance advisor and listing sponsor. Previously, he held senior positions at ICAP Securities and Derivatives Exchange (ISDX) and GXG Markets AB, where he served as Head of Markets. He was also responsible for launching the first UK-approved Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) investment fund offered to the public, a significant milestone within the UK growth capital market. Before moving into capital markets, he was a commercial banking manager at Lloyds Bank.
EdgeMode believes Kiero-Watson’s appointment significantly strengthens the Company’s capital markets expertise, public company governance, investor engagement capabilities, and strategic positioning within the small-cap and growth company ecosystem. His experience across exchange markets, listings, investor networks, and corporate finance is expected to play an important role as EdgeMode continues scaling its AI infrastructure platform and broadening market participation.
The appointment comes at a pivotal time for EdgeMode as the Company expands its AI-ready data center capacity across Spain. The Company is currently developing approximately 4.35GW of power-secured AI infrastructure through strategic partnerships and its development platform. EdgeMode’s model focuses on power-secured AI infrastructure, rapid progression to Ready-to-Build (RTB), capital-efficient monetisation strategies, and strategic partnerships with hyperscalers, operators, and infrastructure investors.
As demand for AI infrastructure accelerates globally, EdgeMode continues to position itself at the intersection of AI compute demand, energy infrastructure, and capital markets growth. Charlie Faulkner, CEO of EdgeMode, stated: “We are delighted to welcome Simon to the Board. His experience across capital markets, public company advisory, exchange platforms, and growth company financing will be extremely valuable as EdgeMode continues to scale. Simon’s appointment further strengthens our governance and reinforces our commitment to building a world-class AI infrastructure platform with strong public market alignment.”
Simon Kiero-Watson commented: “EdgeMode is building a highly compelling platform at the convergence of AI, energy, and digital infrastructure. I’m excited to join the Board and support the Company as it continues executing on its growth strategy and expanding its presence within the capital markets.”
