Soluna
Appoints Microsoft Hyperscale Executive Ryan Carver to Lead Soluna’s AI

 

Appointed
Chief Development Officer, Carver will accelerate the company’s expanding AI infrastructure platform

 

ALBANY,
N.Y., July 16, 2026 – Soluna Holdings, Inc. (“Soluna” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SLNH), a developer
of green data centers for intensive computing applications, including AI and Bitcoin mining, today announced it has appointed Ryan Carver
as Chief Development Officer (CDO), effective immediately. Carver will be responsible for the full lifecycle of Soluna’s AI/HPC
data center platform, from site origination and power procurement through design, construction, commissioning, and ongoing operations.
He will report directly to CEO John Belizaire and sit on Soluna’s Senior Leadership Team.

 

As
CDO, Carver will serve in a cross-functional role spanning development, construction, technology operations, and power — integrating
each into a unified delivery engine as Soluna scales its behind-the-meter, renewable-powered AI infrastructure platform.

 

“Ryan
has built and delivered some of the largest, most technologically sophisticated AI data center campuses in the world, and he brings exactly
the kind of end-to-end operating discipline we need as we scale,” said John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna. “From site selection
through power integration, construction, and live operations, Ryan has done it at a scale few executives in this industry can match.
His leadership will be instrumental as we advance our next phase of growth.”

 

Carver
joins Soluna from Microsoft, where he most recently served as Senior Director – AI Construction & Site Development, leading
a construction P&L in the tens of billions of dollars across the company’s AI data center campus development. During his tenure,
Carver led the construction program at Microsoft’s Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin.

 

“Soluna’s
model — co-locating digital infrastructure directly with renewable generation — is one of the most compelling approaches
I’ve seen to solving the power constraints facing this industry,” said Carver. “I’m excited to bring my experience
building hyperscale AI infrastructure to a company that is turning surplus clean energy into real computing capacity, and to build the
team and platform needed to deliver it at scale.”

 

Over
more than a decade at Microsoft, Carver held senior leadership roles overseeing the company’s global data center construction portfolio,
serving as a key decision-maker driving site selection, permitting, design, and project delivery across multiple geographies. Earlier
in his career, he held engineering and project management roles at Turner Construction and Jacobs, contributing to major infrastructure
projects including World Trade Center Tower 2 and Yankee Stadium. Carver holds a degree in International Business from The Ohio State
University and is a Certified Construction Manager (CCM). He is based in Seattle, Washington.
