Salute, a leading provider of global data center lifecycle services, has appointed Peter Almer as our new Country Manager, Sweden. This latest move underscores our continued commitment to regional leadership, specifically by supporting the next phase of growth in Northern Europe.
In his new role, Peter will lead the start of our expansion into Scandinavia, beginning with the formation of a high-performing team in Sweden. His leadership here will be instrumental in strengthening our regional presence, namely by allowing us to tailor delivery models to local market dynamics and scale European operations in a way that is both sustainable and future-focused.
“I’m thrilled to be leading this next chapter of Salute’s growth,” says Peter. “It’s really exciting to be given the opportunity to build something from the ground up, all while being able to give younger professionals the hands-on experience they’ll need to become confident, capable leaders. The data center industry moves fast, after all, which only makes it all the more important to equip the next generation to meet those challenges head-on.”
In taking on this challenge, Peter brings a track record of delivering quality at scale, shaped by a career that spans both public sector IT and private sector infrastructure. Particularly notable here is his having served as IT support in various locations with Sweden’s Department of Transportation.
Both that experience and his having delivered large-scale EPMS solutions across European markets have provided Peter with a well-rounded view of technical execution and strategic delivery. Likewise, his time at Schneider Electric, OBMG, and Linesight has provided him with commissioning expertise and strengthened his understanding of client-side priorities in hyperscale environments, skills he has since refined and put to excellent use since joining us in 2024 as Sweden Cx Lead.
“Since Peter came on board, I’ve been really struck by just how much thought and the calm focus he brings to everything he does,” says Gareth McGowan, Director of Data Center Projects at IconicX Services. “He’s someone people naturally look to for guidance, and he has an uncanny ability to build trust while delivering on complex projects. That combination of trust, clarity, and execution is exactly what’s needed as he sets out to build a team with the skills and mindset to navigate evolving technologies, regulations, and other unique demands.”
With leaders like Peter in place, we are even better equipped to scale our ability to design, build, operate, and refresh with confidence. His commissioning expertise and understanding of client priorities will prove central to how we shape and deliver future-ready solutions across the region, reinforcing the sense of precision that has enabled us to develop data center solutions that start and end with us.
