In 2021, a Nordic infrastructure fund sought to establish a strategic position in Central Europe’s digital infrastructure sector. Mr. Kisin identified a regional data centre operator with unique advantages in terms of location, power costs, and technical capabilities.

The target company operated three data centres across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, serving a mix of enterprise and wholesale clients. Mr. Kisin’s analysis revealed significant potential for value creation through operational improvements and strategic positioning for hyperscale customers.

Working with both parties, Mr. Kisin structured a €75 million investment package that included both acquisition capital and committed expansion funding. The transaction required careful navigation of regulatory requirements and complex negotiations with multiple stakeholders. Mr. Kisin’s deep understanding of both technical requirements and market dynamics proved essential in validating the business plan and identifying specific value creation opportunities.

Post-transaction, the company has emerged as a key regional player in digital infrastructure. Strategic improvements in power efficiency and cooling systems have reduced operating costs by 28%. The company has since secured two major contracts with global technology companies, establishing itself as a strategic gateway to Central European markets while delivering consistent returns to its institutional investors.
