Jeremy Pease: From Skipping College to CEO — Building the Infrastructure Powering AI

Jeremy Pease is the CEO of Hivelocity, a company at the forefront of cloud hosting and data center services. With over two decades in the industry, Jeremy’s journey is marked by steady growth from technical roles into leadership, all without a traditional college degree. His leadership style centers on servant leadership, a philosophy shaped by his early experiences and mentors. Before leading Hivelocity, he held key executive roles at companies like Contegix, Aptum, and DataBank, where he focused on product innovation, operational growth, and strategic integration.

In this episode, Jeremy talks about how his hands-on background shaped his approach to leading an infrastructure company at a time of rapid change. He explains how data centers are evolving from hardware-focused setups to systems driven by applications and data, especially with AI’s growing demands. Jeremy highlights the difference between AI training, which needs large centralized resources, and AI inference, which requires a more distributed presence to minimize latency.
