Tom Currier.

Tom Currier runs Maverick Power, a Texas-based manufacturer of medium-voltage electrical equipment serving data center, utility, and industrial markets.

The company produces switchgear, transformers, and related electrical infrastructure at a moment of historic demand growth. The AI-powered buildout of hyperscale data centers and the broader industrial reshoring trend have dramatically increased U.S. power infrastructure requirements - and the legacy electrical equipment manufacturers have struggled to meet surging lead-time requirements. Currier was named a 2025 EY Entrepreneur of the Year National Emerging Award finalist. Under his leadership, Maverick has grown into a meaningful supplier to the largest U.S. data center developers and hyperscale customers, filling a capacity gap that emerged as multi-year backlogs at incumbent switchgear manufacturers made their equipment effectively unavailable. His company is one of the less-visible but strategically vital parts of the manufacturing base underneath the more-publicized AI and cloud computing story: the people who build and ship the actual boxes of copper and steel that make hyperscale computing possible.
