As chair of the Investment Committee, he was also responsible for overseeing all major development and leasing decisions, and spent significant time managing international operations and asset management for the company.

In total, Mr. Peterson closed over $17 billion in data center transactions, transforming Digital Realty into the most significant global data center provider of its kind. [4]
