Duos Technologies Names Dipan Patel Chief Operating Officer

Patel, who will report to CEO Doug Recker, joins the executive leadership team as the Jacksonville, Florida-based company scales to meet growing customer demand for its modular edge data centers, colocation services, and technology infrastructure solutions.

In his new role, Patel will have full operational accountability for the deployment of Edge AI data centers and GPU-as-a-Service platforms across the United States. He will work with the executive leadership team to drive operational performance and build the capabilities needed to deliver on Duos' ambitions as a next-generation AI infrastructure platform.

Patel brings more than two decades of telecom and digital infrastructure experience. Most recently, he served as a Digital Infrastructure Solutions Executive at Telstra InfraCo, where he was responsible for product strategy, solution innovation, and commercial monetization across the company's $25 billion-plus national portfolio of data centers, fiber networks, exchange facilities, and critical communications infrastructure. Previously, as EVP of Strategy, Technology and New Business Initiatives at SBA Communications Corporation, he founded the corporate growth division and led infrastructure investments in data centers, power solutions, and open access fiber networks. Earlier in his career, he held leadership roles at Cox Communications and Accenture.

"Dipan's track record of building and scaling businesses across data centers and communications infrastructure will be instrumental as we expand our Edge AI platform and execute on our growth objectives," said Recker. Patel added, "AI is driving a once-in-a-generation infrastructure buildout, and Duos already has a proven modular platform and a team that can move fast. I look forward to leveraging my background to help scale our operations, execute on our growth strategy, and expand the Duos footprint."

Patel holds a PhD in Digital Communications and a BEng degree in Information Systems Engineering from Imperial College London. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and holds 12 granted domestic and international patents. The appointment follows a series of strategic milestones, including the continued expansion of Duos' Edge Data Center platform and broader growth initiatives.
