Borealis Data Center, a pioneering force in sustainable data center services, is pleased to announce three strategic hires to strengthen it‘s position in the market. Over the past few years, the demand for advanced data center services, including HPC and AI, has rapidly driven the company‘s growth, both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, Borealis has proudly facilitated the transition of global companies to eco-friendly and secure data hosting in Iceland.

In line with this effort, Borealis Data Center recently entered into a groundbreaking partnership with IBM. This strategic alliance empowers companies globally to embrace environmentally responsible data hosting solutions in Iceland, all powered by 100% renewable energy. The collaboration with IBM is just one of several visionary projects that underscores the commitment to providing businesses with green cloud alternatives.

This summer's additions to the team include:

Bergþóra Halldórsdóttir, Chief of Staff

Bergþóra Halldórsdóttir, a seasoned legal professional, joins Borealis Data Center with a remarkable track record of public service and strategic leadership.

Bergþóra's earlier role as an Attorney, where she spearheaded Trade and European Affairs for the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise (Samtök atvinnulífsins), equipped her with a deep understanding of governmental processes and stakeholder dynamics.

With her extensive experience in liaising with Icelandic authorities and domestic and international stakeholders, Bergþóra has an exceptional talent for aligning strategic objectives across diverse entities. Her notable achievements include leading the development of a long-term promotion strategy for Icelandic export industries during her tenure at Business Iceland. As Chief of Staff at Borealis, Bergþóra will take charge of strategic planning, operational efficiency, and fostering cross-functional collaboration. She will work closely with Borealis' leadership team to streamline processes, facilitate effective communication, and drive the overall success of the company.
