FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EdgeMode, Inc. (OTC: EDGM), a global energy and AI data center infrastructure company, today announced the appointment of Simon Kiero-Watson to its Board of Directors, further strengthening the Company’s capital markets expertise and corporate governance as EdgeMode continues its rapid growth.

The appointment comes at a pivotal time for EdgeMode as the Company expands what it believes is now the largest AI infrastructure development pipeline in Europe, currently totaling approximately 4.35GW under development in Spain.

Deep Public Markets and Small-Cap Expertise

  • An advisor on numerous public market listings and growth company financings

Previously, Simon held senior positions at:

  • ICAP Securities and Derivatives Exchange (ISDX)

  • Capital markets expertise

The Company’s model focuses on:

  • Power-secured AI infrastructure
  • Rapid progression to Ready-to-Build (RTB)
