Seraya portfolio company, Empyrion DC Pte. Ltd. (“Empyrion”), has appointed Mark Fong as its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), with the Singapore-based executive tasked with driving green digital infrastructure growth across Asia Pacific.

Mr. Fong is a veteran of the data centre industry, and he brings over 22 years of leadership experience in the technology sector. Throughout his career, he held various roles in regional profit-and-loss responsibilities, direct sales, channel management, and data centre business development across Asia Pacific including Japan, Korea, Australia, China, India, and Southeast Asia. Most recently, Mr. Fong was the Regional Vice President of Digital Realty where he was instrumental to Digital Realty’s expansion in Asia for the past 3 years. Prior to that, Mr. Fong held regional leadership positions in both direct and channel sales for Equinix, and for various cloud and software technology companies.

Effective 2nd August 2022, Mr. Fong will lead Empyrion to capitalise on the increased demand for digital infrastructure regionally, with a specific focus on investing in and operating key green physical assets of the digital infrastructure ecosystem.

Specifically, this includes cloud, hyperscale and enterprise scale data centres as well as network and fibre assets, leveraging the capital and resources of parent company Seraya Partners, one of Asia’s first Next Generation infrastructure funds.

The appointment of Mr. Fong as CEO follows from Empyrion’s inaugural investment into the SG1 Dodid data centre in Singapore last October, done in conjunction with co-investors of Seraya Partners.
