Craig Rhodes, currently the Managing Director of Structured’s Data Center Solutions business unit, assumes the newly created role of Vice President of Data Center Solutions and AI Platforms, a position created to help Structured support unprecedented customer demand for data center capacity and AI-ready infrastructure.
PORTLAND, Ore. (Jan. 27, 2026) – Structured, a leading provider of professional and managed IT services for nearly 35 years, today announced that Craig Rhodes has been tapped to lead a future-forward business unit to serve skyrocketing customer requirements for power-dense, GPU-optimized data center infrastructure due to the AI boom.
As VP of Data Center Solutions and AI Platforms, Rhodes will oversee the strategic vision and go‑to‑market execution for Structured’s expanding portfolio of on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid data center technologies and AI‑driven platforms. He will lead cross‑functional teams responsible for engineering, development, professional services delivery, and partner ecosystems.
“Early on, Craig understood the impact AI would have on Structured’s customers and their infrastructure needs for secure, accurate data correlation and management,” said Structured President and CEO Ron Fowler. “He has been a passionate and tireless advocate in our work to build a business unit that will help customers incorporate AI with less friction and a tangible ROI through optimized and mission-driven data center architectures.”
“A provider like Structured with an AI-focused business unit is a strategic partner, not just another technology vendor, and our customers will benefit greatly from Craig’s leadership and experience,” Fowler added.
During his tenure as leader of the Data Center Solutions (DCS) practice, Rhodes guided it through significant expansion, including the launch of hybrid infrastructure offerings, modernization services and advanced deployment and engineering capabilities. He also helped build key alliances with industry‑leading technology partners.
AI workloads and modern applications require massive compute, storage, and networking capacity. To thrive in this evolving environment, organizations need modernized data architectures and AI-ready infrastructures to support greater resource utilization, business analytics, customer demand, and enterprise digital initiatives.
“I’m honored to step into this role at such a pivotal moment for our customers and the industry,” said Rhodes. “Data center architectures and AI platforms are evolving rapidly, and I’m excited to lead our efforts to deliver the technology and services that organizations need to innovate, scale and stay secure.”
