Jon Meier is ERM's Regional Commercial Director for Asia and Managing Partner for Asset Retirement Services. Mr. Meier has been an environmental consultant for over 30 years, the last 22 years based in Japan. He is focused on providing integrated solutions to safely manage industrial asset conversion and repurposing or retirement of assets depending on client business drivers. With the fast pace emerging client needs in Asia for additional cloud-based capacity, technology service providers are frenetically seeking to construct Data Centers across the region but are facing challenges in the availability of land assets that meet their strategic development requirements: access to power, water, fibre and geography. Data Center developers are increasingly looking to pivot away from preferred low-risk green field sites and are increasingly purchasing and then converting industrial assets for future Data Center construction. Jon has worked on industrial asset conversion and repurposing of manufacturing facilities throughout Asia including Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Macao, South Korea, Brunei, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, India, and Indonesia. In the past 3 years Mr. Meier has converted 5 industrial assets in Asia specifically for Data Centers.
