The Two New Executives Steering KKR’s $10 Billion AI Infrastructure Bet

KKR’s new $10 billion AI venture, Helix Digital Infrastructure, has made its first two senior hires under CEO Adam Selipsky, the former Amazon Web Services chief, a person with knowledge of the moves said.

The venture, which counts Nvidia among its backers, has tapped Jonathan Lin, former chief business officer at data center operator Equinix, to run data center strategy and execution. Kleber Costa, previously chief commercial officer of the clean energy business at power company AES, will lead Helix’s power and energy operations, the person said.
