Four regions, practical assignments

The references below describe Matthieu Gallego’s personal work in prior roles and advisory assignments. Company market coverage and partner connections are shown separately on the market map.

01

Europe

UK · Poland · Belgium · Spain · Italy · France · Luxembourg

London delivery from design to commissioning, a Warsaw live-site extension, Belgian asset due diligence and development programmes in Spain and Italy.

In London, Matthieu Gallego’s work covered project governance, contractor coordination, commissioning and handover. The Warsaw extension required phasing around an operating facility, operational risk management and commissioning coordination. These delivery references sit within his EMEA project-management experience at OVH. Belgian asset reviews combined technical, operating and commercial due diligence with acquisition support and capital-cost comparisons. Programme work in Spain and Italy covered site and power assessment, development phasing, investment modelling and governance. His prior roles at Turner & Townsend included multi-country programme leadership. At RLB SQA Europe, regional responsibility covered France, Luxembourg and Morocco, including strategy, client engagement and delivery oversight.

For a cross-border assignment, this experience helps organise a common owner brief while keeping local planning, utility and procurement dependencies visible. A live-site extension also needs operational interfaces and acceptance criteria that differ from a new campus.

02

Middle East and Gulf

Oman

Hyperscale and AI campus advisory, power strategy and multi-country programme setup.

Matthieu Gallego’s advisory work in Oman concerns campus development rather than a claim of completed construction. It includes master-planning review, transmission strategy, coordination with energy stakeholders and the organisation of a development programme. Technical review and commissioning strategy provide a way to test the relationship between the proposed campus, its power requirements and the delivery sequence. Investment and governance discussions need a clear distinction between the long-term ambition and the first phase that can be examined in detail.

For an owner assessing a Gulf campus, The Blob Company can help organise consultant scopes, power questions, phasing assumptions and investment decision points. Local specialists and network operators remain essential to establishing the actual consent and connection pathway.

03

North Africa

Morocco

Regional responsibility, market assessment and investor advisory linking North Africa and Europe.

Matthieu Gallego’s France, Luxembourg and Morocco remit at RLB SQA Europe included regional strategy, client engagement and delivery oversight. Morocco-related work also covers market assessment, infrastructure comparisons and investor discussions about regional expansion. The task is to bring demand, infrastructure and development assumptions into the same review, rather than rely on a national growth narrative. Comparing markets requires attention to evidence quality and to the rights and responsibilities that sit with each party.

This is relevant when an investor is comparing a North African opportunity with a European development programme. The Blob Company helps frame the questions, identify specialist reviews and make differences in costs, power assumptions and delivery dependencies explicit before investment decisions.

04

Southeast Asia

Vietnam · Thailand · Malaysia

Vietnam and Thailand hyperscale and AI development advisory. Malaysia experience is in industrial and energy engineering.

Vietnam and Thailand references concern strategic development advisory for hyperscale and AI campuses, including utility coordination, technical review, investment modelling and market positioning. They inform the organisation of phased development and the preparation of investor material. His earlier experience in Malaysia was through Technip on industrial and energy infrastructure, with acoustic and vibration engineering studies and technical standards. It is engineering experience, not a delivered data centre reference.

For an assignment spanning Southeast Asia and Europe, The Blob Company can help establish a consistent development brief and review structure without assuming that a European design, power strategy or procurement sequence transfers unchanged. Local engineering and regulatory advice is scoped into the programme.

Putting this experience to work on your project

You can engage The Blob Company for cross-border work that begins with one site review, an investment question or a development phase. The Blob Company agrees the decision, evidence and specialist input with you. The resulting work may include a feasibility review, a development programme and budget, a responsibility matrix or an investment sensitivity analysis. The aim is a comparable basis for owner decisions, with country-specific dependencies kept visible.
