Head of Mobility

Navier is a Chicago-based infrastructure development company focused on originating and developing sites for data centers and power infrastructure. The company works closely with utilities, landowners, and local communities to identify and develop locations that can support the next generation of critical infrastructure, with an emphasis on integrating new developments responsibly into existing power grids. Navier partners with both investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives to ensure that new developments are thoughtfully incorporated without compromising grid reliability or affordability for existing customers. The company's approach centers on community-aligned development, prioritizing projects where they are both needed and welcomed. Navier positions data center developments as high-return, low-impact opportunities for communities seeking new revenue sources, and it actively advocates for local communities and ecological considerations throughout the development process. Its model is built on fostering willing transactions between sellers, buyers, and neighbors, emphasizing transparency and mutual benefit. What distinguishes Navier is its patient yet efficient development philosophy, striving to move quickly without sacrificing thoroughness or stakeholder goodwill. By bridging the gap between energy infrastructure, land ownership, and community interests, the company aims to play a meaningful role in modernizing and expanding the power infrastructure necessary to support a more electrified and data-driven future.
