Dean Boyle co-founded EkkoSense, a rapidly-growing global SaaS company that’s increasingly recognized as a smart choice for data center teams looking to take their operational performance to the next level. EkkoSense has a clear mission to help organizations resolve the thermal risks their data centers face from inefficient cooling strategies. As CEO he has driven the company’s development to its current position as a global provider of a disruptive, artificial intelligence-powered SaaS-based data center optimization approach that minimizes data center cooling costs, helps data centers run leaner, and supports corporate ESG programs through quantifiable carbon savings and automated energy reporting. Before setting up EkkoSense, Dean spent almost five years as Managing Director of 4energy, establishing a new VC-backed business focused on delivering energy savings in ICT rooms. Earlier he ran his own IBM infrastructure services business, building on his background in leading technical services teams supporting major IBM and ERP IT deployments.
