Master Power Technologies CEO Menno Parsons on completing over 150 data centre projects in Africa

In this What’s Next with Aki Anastasiou interview, Master Power Technologies CEO Menno Parsons discusses the company’s founding and incredible success in Africa. Since founding Master Power Technologies in 1999, Parsons’ leadership has been instrumental in the company’s strong growth. Over the past 25 years, the company has expanded to more than 16 countries and completed over 150 data centre projects. In this What’s Next interview, Parsons explains why he decided to start Master Power Technologies and reveals the key factors that have led to its success in Africa. He discusses how designing, building, and operating data centres in Africa differs from other parts of the world — before highlighting the importance of research and development for retaining a competitive edge.
