FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Z Squared Inc. (Nasdaq: ZSQR) (the “Company”), a digital infrastructure company expanding into AI infrastructure, today announced the appointment of Jeffrey Harris as Chief Technology Officer.
Harris is the founder and Chief Technology Officer of Paradox Data LLC, where he leads the design and deployment of high density, immersion cooled digital infrastructure for data intensive workloads across the United States, overseeing technical strategy, platform architecture, and the delivery of resilient, energy efficient infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) optimized for next generation compute.
Harris’s technical foundation was forged in the U.S. military, where he served in aerospace electronics and secure systems, developing a deep focus on reliability, mission-critical operations, and cryptography driven security. From 2012 to 2018, he designed, built, and operated FPGA, GPU, and ASIC based infrastructure, gaining extensive experience with high density compute and blockchain systems. Since founding Paradox Data, he has directed patented immersion cooling deployments, modular data center architectures, and campus scale developments in power advantaged markets, working closely with utilities and technology vendors to align data center design with grid integrated operation and long-term scalability. He is also continuing his formal technical education in data analytics and cryptography through Cornell University, reinforcing his focus on secure, data driven, and scalable infrastructure for AI, blockchain, and other compute intensive applications.
As previously disclosed, the Company has entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire a majority membership interest in Paradox Data LLC, of which Mr. Harris is the founder and Chief Technology Officer. The appointment of Mr. Harris as Chief Technology Officer of the Company was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
“Jeffrey brings a depth of technical experience that is rare in this industry, from hands on infrastructure builds to utility scale power strategy,” said David Halabu, Chief Executive Officer of Z Squared Inc. “As we scale our AI infrastructure platform, having that expertise in house is a significant advantage.”
“The infrastructure constraints facing AI today, power, cooling, and density, are exactly the problems I have spent my career solving,” said Harris. “I am looking forward to bringing those solutions to Z Squared and helping the Company execute on its vision.”
