Pay attention, this is important NASDAQ:VVPR
Listen up — this one matters. VivoPower (NASDAQ: VVPR) quietly made a move that tells you exactly how serious they are about
sovereign AI data center infrastructure.
This morning, VivoPower announced the appointment of Shane Whelan to its Global Advisory Council and the opening of a
Dublin office — a strategic beachhead in one of the most important data center markets in the world.
Why I’m fired up
Whelan isn’t a hype hire. He’s a builder.
- One of Europe’s leading real estate and infrastructure asset developers
- Multi-decade relationships with hyperscalers including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon
- A development portfolio exceeding 3.5 million square feet
- Over $2 billion in gross development value across the EU and UK
This is the resume you bring in when you’re not pitching AI — you’re constructing it.
This is NOT random — this is strategy
Dublin isn’t just another city. It’s a global choke point for hyperscale data centers, talent, and regulatory expertise.
VivoPower isn’t talking about AI in the abstract — it’s putting boots on the ground where sovereign compute actually gets financed, permitted, and built.
Whelan will:
- Establish VivoPower’s Dublin office
- Advise on hyperscaler relationships
- Help scale a trusted, independent sovereign AI data center platform globally
Governments don’t award sovereign AI projects to storytellers. They award them to teams that understand
real estate, power, regulation, uptime, and delivery risk. This hire checks every one of those boxes.
The takeaway
This is how serious companies behave.
VivoPower is surrounding itself with people who have actually built large-scale infrastructure alongside the biggest technology platforms on earth.
That doesn’t guarantee success — but it dramatically raises the ceiling and materially lowers execution risk.
Watch the offices. Watch the hires. Watch the projects.
That’s where this story gets real.
