Carlo Malana, President and CEO of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) Philippines, has been recognized for his exceptional leadership and vision, receiving the prestigious Silver Stevie® Award for Most Innovative Leader of the Year at the Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards.

 

The award celebrates achievements of organizations and individuals who have shown unparalleled innovation and forward-thinking in their respective fields.

 

Malana's Silver Stevie® Award is a testament to his unwavering dedication to driving progress within the data center industry. It also underscores the company’s dedication to pushing boundaries and setting new standards in the data center industry. 

 

Jomai Solano, STT GDC Philippines Chief Finance Officer, and Chrissie Legaspi, Head of Strategy Execution and Marketing, accepted the award on Malana’s behalf at the ceremony in Shangri-la, The Fort on May 24, 2024. 

 

“This award is proof that Carlo’s visionary leadership will allow us to be the most sought-after digital hub in Southeast Asia,” said Solano. 

 

"This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team," said Malana. "Together, we continue to push boundaries and set new benchmarks in the data center industry. Our goal is to ensure that the Philippines remains at the forefront of digital innovation, providing world-class infrastructure to support the ever-growing demand for data and connectivity."

 

Under Malana’s guidance, STT GDC Philippines has achieved remarkable milestones, solidifying its position as a leader in the country’s digital infrastructure landscape.

 

One of the company’s most notable achievements is the inauguration of two next-generation data center projects, helping advance digital infrastructure in the region with world-class, hyperscale-ready data center solutions.

 

The first of these facilities, STT Cavite 2, is a two-story building covering over 4,500 square meters, designed to deliver up to 6 megawatts of total IT capacity. The second, the STT Fairview data center campus, is a pre-LEED Gold-certified facility that spans over 83,000 square meters across four buildings, with the potential to offer 124 megawatts of IT load capacity once fully operational.

 

STT GDC Philippines has also achieved the prestigious Uptime III Certification for its STT Cavite 1 facility and strategically expanded capacity by 5.2MW, solidifying its trajectory towards becoming an industry leader. The facility, likewise, received the Asia Pacific Cloud & Datacenter Award in the Projects category by W.Media, a key technology publisher and community hub in Asia Pacific.

 

The company looks forward to serving clients soon, with construction of STT Fairview 1 on track to commence service by early 2025. 

 

Malana's aspirations extend beyond the company's current success. He envisions the Philippines as a regional digital hub, poised to attract global hyperscalers and enterprises seeking cutting-edge infrastructure. With ambitious plans on the horizon, STT GDC Philippines is well-positioned to drive the country's digital transformation and contribute to its economic growth.
