PowerHouse Strengthens Core Leadership Portfolio with Dual Strategic Appointments
With a development pipeline spanning more than 24 million square feet and 6.1 GW across six U.S. markets, PowerHouse continues to invest in leadership that can drive both speed to power and construction of data centers for hyperscale users across its portfolio.
Adametz and Chaudhry are a part of the PowerHouse team, with combined expertise adding to our industry leading This collaborative leadership structure reflects a deliberate strategy that supports PowerHouse's model of delivering shovel-ready campuses that are engineered for hyperscale growth and sustained operational value.
'John and Vardahn bring a deep understanding of what it takes to not just build, but operate world-class data center campuses at scale,' said Doug Fleit, Co-founder and CEO of PowerHouse Data Centers. 'They know how to manage complexity, execute with discipline and most importantly—deliver value to our clients. This kind of experience matters when you're in an industry as fast pace and demanding as build-to-suite hyperscale data centers.'
A Leadership Model Built for Scale and Stability
Adametz brings more than 30 years of global, hands-on experience leading complex infrastructure projects with speed and precision. At Meta, he demonstrated his expertise in managing large-scale developments by leading partner strategy for leased capacity and design execution on multi-gigawatt campuses. Additionally, Adametz's 32-year tenure in the U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps, where he led $8 billion annually in critical infrastructure planning, design, construction, and operations, highlights his ability to deliver high-impact projects in complex environments.
At PowerHouse, Adametz will lead the daily development and construction operations. By focusing on scalable, resilient project delivery for Richmond-based projects as well as PowerHouse's broader portfolio, he will enhance the company's ability to meet the demands of hyperscale clients while ensuring long-term operational performance.
Chaudhry's strong background in digital infrastructure investment and asset strategy positions PowerHouse to adapt and grow in a dynamic market. As Vice President of Investments at JBG SMITH, he managed an $85 million digital infrastructure and venture capital investment portfolio, including the establishment of a first-of-its-kind last-mile platform of fiber, data centers, small cell and spectrum assets—demonstrating his ability to develop new and flexible transaction structures, while executing strategic builds and acquisitions to drive long-term value. With earlier consulting experience at Accenture, he applies a data-driven, operational, and technical lens to meeting the evolving needs of hyperscalers.
Chaudhry brings a unique perspective to PowerHouse, where he manages the entire lifecycle of the company's data center assets, from acquisition to implementation, working closely with partners and customers to deliver consistent, high-performing results. His strategic approach ensures PowerHouse not only meets current client needs but also stays ahead of emerging trends in cloud and AI infrastructure.
A National Platform Backed by Expertise
Together, Adametz and Chaudhry are key drivers of PowerHouse's commitment to building client-focused, sustainable and value-driven infrastructure solutions. Their combined skillset is instrumental to the company's innovation and competitive strategy.
Both leaders will coordinate across regions and departments to ensure seamless execution and performance. Their partnership reflects PowerHouse's broader strategy: pair development precision with long-term asset value to deliver the kind of capacity hyperscalers rely on.
Backed by AREP's oversubscribed $309 million Fund IV, PowerHouse is actively advancing large-scale, power-first campuses in Virginia, Kentucky and beyond—designed specifically for the AI and cloud workloads shaping tomorrow's infrastructure.

Delta Air assures US lawmakers it will not personalize fares using AI
Delta Air Lines said on Friday it will not use artificial intelligence to set personalized ticket prices for passengers after facing sharp criticism from U.S. lawmakers and broad public concern. Last week, Democratic Senators Ruben Gallego, Mark Warner and Richard Blumenthal said they believed the Atlanta-based airline would use AI to set individual prices, which would "likely mean fare price increases up to each individual consumer's personal 'pain point.'" Delta said it has not used AI to set personalized prices but previously said it plans to deploy AI-based revenue management technology across 20% of its domestic network by the end of 2025 in partnership with Fetcherr, an AI pricing company. "There is no fare product Delta has ever used, is testing or plans to use that targets customers with individualized prices based on personal data," Delta told the senators in a letter on Friday, seen by Reuters. "Our ticket pricing never takes into account personal data." Senators praised Delta's commitment not to use AI for personal pricing but expressed many questions and want more details about what data Delta is collecting to set prices. "Delta is telling their investors one thing, and then turning around and telling the public another," Gallego said. "If Delta is in fact using aggregated instead of individualized data, that is welcome news." Delta declined comment on Gallego's statement. The senators cited a comment in December by Delta President Glen Hauenstein that the carrier's AI price-setting technology is capable of setting fares based on a prediction of "the amount people are willing to pay for the premium products related to the base fares." Last week, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said using AI to set ticket prices could hurt consumer trust. "This is not about bait and switch. This is not about tricking," Isom said on an earnings call, adding "talk about using AI in that way, I don't think it's appropriate. And certainly from American, it's not something we will do." Democratic lawmakers Greg Casar and Rashida Tlaib last week introduced legislation to bar companies from using AI to set prices or wages based on Americans' personal data and would specifically ban airlines raising individual prices after seeing a search for a family obituary. They cited a Federal Trade Commission staff report in January that found "retailers frequently use people's personal information to set targeted, tailored prices for goods and services -- from a person's location and demographics, down to their mouse movements on a webpage." The FTC cited a hypothetical example of a consumer profiled as a new parent who could intentionally be shown higher-priced baby thermometers and collect behavioral details to forecast a customer's state of mind. Delta said airlines have used dynamic pricing for more than three decades, in which pricing fluctuates based on a variety of factors like overall customer demand, fuel prices and competition, but not a specific consumer's personal information. "Given the tens of millions of fares and hundreds of thousands of routes for sale at any given time, the use of new technology like AI promises to streamline the process by which we analyze existing data and the speed and scale at which we can respond to changing market dynamics," Delta's letter said.

NEW YORK, Aug. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Reckitt Benckiser Group plc ('Reckitt' or the 'Company') (OTC:RBGLY) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Reckitt securities between January 13, 2021, and July 28, 2024, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'). Investors have until August 4, 2025 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. Click here to participate in the action. Reckitt is a United Kingdom-based, global consumer goods company. To date, over 500 state and federal products liability lawsuits have been filed against Reckitt and its competitor, Abbott Laboratories ('Abbott'), claiming that they failed to adequately warn that premature infants consuming cow milk-based formulas, such as Reckitt's Enfamil and Abbott's Similac, have an increased risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis ('NEC'), a life-threatening intestinal disease that affects premature or low birth weight infants. The Class Action alleges that, during the Class Period, Defendants made misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company's business, financial condition, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to warn investors and consumers: (1) that preterm infants were at an increased risk of developing NEC by consuming Reckitt's cow's milk-based formula, Enfamil; (2) of the attendant impact on Reckitt's sales of Enfamil and Reckitt's exposure to legal claims; and (3) as a result of the above, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Reckitt shares and suffered a loss, are a long-term stockholder, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Marion Passmore by email at [email protected], telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.
