Summary
Lloyd Ross is an operationally focused technology executive with 8+ years leading asset lifecycle, secure data destruction, and sustainable infrastructure businesses across the San Francisco Bay Area. As COO of FarmGPU he now combines green data center GPU hosting with pragmatic commercial operations, building cost-effective AI infrastructure at scale. His background founding and scaling multiple asset management and ITAD firms—including Northbay Networks, ZER0trace, and CiscoLiquidator—reflects deep expertise in compliant equipment disposition, on-site sanitization, and secondary markets for enterprise networking and storage hardware. Lloyd blends hands-on entrepreneurial experience with partnership development and audit-driven processes that satisfy both environmental and regulatory requirements. Known for a pragmatic engineering sensibility (his GitHub quip hints at a developer’s mindset), he balances risk-aware systems thinking with revenue-generating operational rigor. Based in San Leandro, he’s equally comfortable negotiating enterprise contracts, architecting on-site destruction workflows, and steering growth-stage ops for AI infrastructure.
