Chad Rodriguez is the quintessential team player, and his transformative work at Stream continues to exemplify that truth.

With decades of experience in critical infrastructure and telecommunications, Chad is a leasing powerhouse. His trajectory across network sales and corporate development created close relationships with data center customers, carriers and hyperscale network teams, leading to strong dark fiber lease partnerships and experience-boosting interconnection opportunities. Putting these connections to work, Chad helps customers capitalize on disruptive technologies like AI with well-positioned data center solutions.

When markets and requirements evolve, Chad finds a smart path forward for customers, collaborates on new solutions with carriers and helps Stream teams optimize. In 2023, when AI demand was redefining hockey-stick growth and Stream’s hyperscale business was accelerating, Chad built a network development A-team, in turn enabling more tailored support for hyperscale customers’ unprecedented data center demand.

Stream and its customers know Chad doesn’t shy away from challenge and change when they arise — an approach that can be attributed to his background in the Air Force.

Chad’s military-crafted “one team, one mission” mantra deepens Stream’s adaptability and collaboration — but it’s his track record of action that keeps customers ahead of the game, reinforcing Stream’s role as a trusted and enduring partner for evolving data center needs.
