Goldman Sachs has honored Wes Swenson, CEO and Founder of Novva Data Centers, as one of the Most Exceptional Entrepreneurs of 2025 at its prestigious Builders and Innovators Summit in Healdsburg, California.

With over 35 years in technology and 15 years in the data center sector, Swenson has built a career redefining how digital infrastructure is designed and operated. At Novva, his vision centers on sustainability, innovation, and scalability — from water-free cooling systems and renewable energy to robotic and drone-assisted facility monitoring.

Since its founding in 2019, Novva has expanded rapidly across Utah, Colorado, Nevada, California, and Arizona, positioning itself as a national leader in sustainable, purpose-built data centers. The company’s focus on pairing environmental responsibility with cutting-edge design continues to attract hyperscale and enterprise clients seeking future-ready infrastructure.

“It’s an honor to be recognized among such an incredible group of entrepreneurs,” said Swenson. “This recognition is really a testament to our team and partners who have helped turn our vision of sustainable, purpose-built data centers into reality. At Novva, we set out to redefine what large-scale digital infrastructure can look like — efficient, innovative, and environmentally responsible — and we’re just getting started.”

Goldman Sachs’ annual Summit celebrates entrepreneurs from across industries who are shaping the future of business. Now in its 14th year, the event brings together top founders and CEOs for conversations on innovation, growth, and the evolving role of technology — including AI — in the modern economy.
