David McLean
With over 30 years of experience in global sales development and strategic deployment, I lead Data Center growth initiatives for the GRUNDFOS Commercial Building Services (CBS) Business Unit. My work centers on advancing sustainable water-based technologies that address one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: reducing water and energy consumption in the world’s digital infrastructure.
Collaborating across six global regions, I drive market expansion and vertical strategy by aligning customer needs with cutting-edge, high-efficiency pumping and fluid-management solutions. My focus is on helping data centers transition toward more resilient, water-optimized designs—from liquid cooling and heat-reuse opportunities to responsible water stewardship and circularity.
My passion lies in creating a unified global Data Center community within GRUNDFOS, bringing together insights, innovation, and partnerships that push the industry toward more sustainable, future-ready operations. Together, we’re shaping the evolution of data centers — enabling higher performance, reduced environmental impact, and smarter use of the planet’s most vital resource: water.
