Summary
Andrew Metcalf is an infrastructure strategist with over 20 years building global Internet backbone capacity, specializing in datacenters, long-haul terrestrial systems and high-capacity subsea cables. He led Google’s subsea cable construction and operations team, delivering 10+ trans-continental systems—including pioneering sole-owner builds and the Curie US–Chile cable that enabled new datacenter expansion. Known for marrying technical rigor with commercial acumen, he created region-wide roadmaps, TCO standards and the first global space-and-power forecasts that reshaped Google’s production network footprint. His hands-on approach spans site selection, permitting navigation, vendor negotiation and even landing-station staffing and training, enabling on-time, under-budget outcomes in complex geopolitical environments. Now driving origination and market development at Sepia Infrastructure from Georgia, he brings rare end-to-end delivery experience across planning, construction and operations. A track record of inventive solutions and cross-functional leadership makes him a go-to executive for scaling resilient, high-capacity network projects.
