SAN FRANCISCO: Intersect, a power and data center solutions provider, today announced the appointment of Katrina Rymill as Chief Financial Officer. Rymill brings two decades of financial leadership and experience in scaling high-growth technology companies. She will play a central role in accelerating the company’s next chapter of strategic growth co-locating data centers with dedicated gas and renewable power solutions.

She joins Intersect from Equinix, where she served as Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance and Sustainability, and led the company’s global treasury, investor relations, and sustainability programs. During her tenure, she played a key role in financing the company’s global data center expansion, raising $9 billion in green bonds and optimizing the company’s capital structure to fund sustainable growth. She also spearheaded the company’s award-winning investor relations program, fostering strong relationships with investors and analysts. Prior to Equinix, Rymill held leadership positions at Redback Networks and CyberSource, and began her career in leveraged finance investment banking at Merrill Lynch.

“The AI revolution is not a software challenge-it's an industrial one and the true bottleneck is power,” said Sheldon Kimber, Intersect Founder and CEO. “Katrina is a proven leader who brings a wealth of experience in scaling data center infrastructure. She is a force multiplier for our team and will be instrumental as we write Intersect’s next chapter building and powering some of the largest AI infrastructure on the planet.”

As CFO, Rymill has a broad mandate to formalize and expand all of Intersect’s financial functions. She brings unique experience as a mature finance leader in entrepreneurial and capital intensive businesses to Intersect at a critical time of rapid growth.

“I couldn’t be more excited to join the team,” said Katrina Rymill, Intersect CFO. “Intersect has redefined what’s possible in energy and infrastructure, proving that innovative financing blended with decisive execution will power the industries of the future.”

Intersect has $15 billion of energy assets in operation or under construction in the U.S. The company has raised more than $2.1 billion in corporate equity from Google, TPG Rise, CAI, and Greenbelt Partners. In November 2024, Intersect and Google announced a partnership designed to deliver gigawatts of new data center capacity across the country with Intersect catalyzing a targeted $20 billion in renewable power infrastructure investment by the end of the decade. The company’s first multi-hundred megawatt, co-located energy and data center facility is currently under construction. The first phase is expected to be operational in 2026.
