Meta taps Shivam Sharma to sharpen its energy and data centre strategy

CALIFORNIA: Meta has hired Shivam Sharma as strategic lead for energy and data centre strategy, pulling in more than 13 years of experience from PSEG, where he cut his teeth on energy operations, infrastructure reliability and large-scale utility planning. The move signals Meta’s intent to supercharge the efficiency and sustainability of its rapidly expanding global data centre footprint.

Sharma’s background in managing complex, utility-scale systems gives him a firm footing to bolster Meta’s push for high-performance, scalable and sustainable data centre environments that can handle the company’s AI-heavy workloads and rising connectivity demands.

Armed with a solid academic grounding from Rutgers Business School and deep hands-on sector expertise, Sharma blends technical rigour with commercial insight—skills that now slot neatly into Meta’s long-term infrastructure ambitions. His shift from PSEG to the tech giant underscores a career built on navigating energy complexity and delivering resilient solutions at scale.

With Sharma in the cockpit, Meta’s data centre strategy looks set for a sharper, smarter and more future-ready climb.
