Curtis Kirkland

I am a Data Centre Solutions Sales Manager at nVent, supporting operators, hyperscalers, AI infrastructure providers, consultants, contractors and channel partners across the UK & Ireland.

My focus is helping customers design, deploy and scale critical data centre infrastructure, with particular expertise in liquid cooling, intelligent power distribution, racks, containment and supporting white-space technologies.

As the industry rapidly evolves towards AI, HPC and high-density computing, I work closely with stakeholders across the entire ecosystem to understand upcoming projects, emerging technologies and changing infrastructure requirements. My role spans everything from early-stage engagement with developers, operators and consultants through to supporting design, procurement and deployment teams.

Through nVent's portfolio, I support solutions including Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs), Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx), intelligent PDUs, racks, containment and liquid cooling infrastructure. nVent has deployed over 3GW of liquid cooling globally, is an NVIDIA Certified Partner and has collaborated with AMD on the Helios platform.

I am passionate about building long-term industry relationships and connecting with organisations involved in AI infrastructure, hyperscale and colocation developments, liquid cooling adoption, data centre design and next-generation digital infrastructure projects.

I joined AISAT to expand my network, share knowledge, learn from industry peers and contribute to the ongoing development of the data centre industry.
