Schneider Electric™, the global frontrunner in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has unveiled the DDI Podcast today – a fresh podcast platform geared towards dispelling myths and misconceptions surrounding the digital infrastructure sector. The podcast also aims to disseminate valuable insights from individuals and businesses driving transformative technological changes that reshape our world.

Mark Yeeles, Vice President of the Secure Power Division at Schneider Electric UK and Ireland, assumes the role of host for the DDI Podcast. The objective of this podcast is to enhance comprehension of the pivotal role played by digital infrastructure in the digital economy, while fostering a bridge between enterprises and consumers. Furthermore, the company seeks to raise awareness about how technologies enhance our daily lives and share stories of professionals within the sector. This effort is intended to expedite opportunities for those pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), address talent shortages, and promote workforce diversity.

With its inaugural episode debuting today, the podcast features Tom Gorman, Senior Operations Director for EMEA at Digital Realty, as the guest. This episode delves into Ireland's status as a technology hub, the regional energy and sustainability challenges, and the contribution of data centers to the digital economy. In upcoming episodes, guests will explore significant topics including the global ramifications of artificial intelligence (AI), data centers, networks, and the cloud; the energy crisis, renewable resources, and sustainability; and the scarcity of skills and early talent.

Mark Yeeles, Vice President of the Secure Power Division at Schneider Electric UK and Ireland, remarked, "I take great pride in introducing this new podcast platform as we work to demystify some of the central questions within a sector that significantly impacts people worldwide. Through the DDI Podcast and our esteemed guests, my aspiration is to not only enlighten and educate our listeners but also to help them grasp the essential role of this critical industry. We aim to spotlight the accomplishments of organizations leading the charge in sustainability and, ultimately, the mission to achieve net zero."

Tom Gorman, Senior Director of Operations for EMEA at Digital Realty, emphasized, "Data centers are at the forefront of innovation, embracing novel technologies. One of our foremost challenges is educating individuals and raising awareness about the industry and its pervasive influence on our everyday lives. I was thrilled to be the inaugural guest on the DDI podcast, engaging in a discussion with Mark about the sector. Our conversation on key topics aims to kindle a desire for further learning in others."
