Senior Product Manager, AI Cloud Services

Emerald AI is a green technology company operating at the intersection of artificial intelligence infrastructure and power grid management. The company develops software and platform solutions that make AI data centers flexible electricity consumers, enabling them to dynamically adjust their power demand in response to grid conditions. This approach transforms data centers from passive power users into active grid partners, helping utilities and grid operators manage stress on existing infrastructure without requiring costly new transmission or generation capacity. Emerald AI's flagship product, the Conductor platform, serves as an intelligent operating layer between power grids and data centers, coordinating real-time power flexibility while guaranteeing AI workload performance. Emerald AI's mission is centered on enabling the continued scaling of AI infrastructure without triggering grid crises, blackouts, or prohibitive energy cost increases for consumers. The company estimates that intelligent demand flexibility can unlock up to 100 GW of latent capacity on existing grid infrastructure, dramatically accelerating AI deployment timelines while also supporting grid reliability and clean energy integration. By reducing the need to build redundant generation and transmission assets, Emerald AI contributes directly to climate and sustainability goals in the energy sector. The company has achieved significant recognition and commercial traction, being named a 2026 World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer and a 2026 TIME100 Most Influential Company. Emerald AI has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA on its DSX Flex deployment with Silicon Valley Power, and is working within ERCOT's new framework for grid-responsive AI infrastructure in Texas. These milestones position Emerald AI as a pioneering force in the emerging field of grid-interactive AI infrastructure.
