Landfair brings extensive experience in data centers and critical infrastructure to Montera’s world-class leadership team

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Montera Infrastructure, which is scaling the next generation of digital infrastructure, has named Justin J. Landfair as its Chief Legal Officer. In this role, Landfair will build and lead Montera’s legal function as the company scales its first hyperscale campuses, with responsibility for legal, regulatory, and compliance matters and for the outside counsel panel and internal team that he will build to support them. He will also help shape the company’s approach to governance, risk management, and capital formation, and build the contractual framework that will serve as a foundation for Montera’s development program, including land acquisition, site development, interconnection, construction, customer leasing, and long-term operations.

Landfair joins Montera from Aligned Data Centers, where he served as Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel. In that role, he was the legal lead on multi-building, gigawatt-scale hyperscale transactions representing billions in estimated future contracted revenue. Before Aligned, he spent nearly nine years at Digital Realty Trust, first as Senior Director, Commercial Counsel and later as Vice President, Corporate Counsel. In those roles, he supported the Telx, Dupont Fabros, and InterXion acquisitions, managed customer leasing, and supported long-term operations across the development pipeline. He began his career in the corporate practice at Duane Morris LLP in Philadelphia and later joined the energy practice at McGuireWoods LLP in Pittsburgh.

“Justin is one of the most experienced and respected attorneys in the data center industry. Everywhere he has been in his industry, he has been far more than a legal counsel. He has been a catalyst for growth with his strategic vision and his ability to build a foundation for speed and scalability. That makes him a perfect fit for Montera’s world-class leadership team as we accelerate the delivery of gigawatt-scale digital infrastructure,” said Eanna Murphy, Founder and CEO.

“Early in my career I represented energy producers through the Marcellus buildout, where the ability to build at scale and speed was critical. AI computing is in the same position now. The industry needs companies that can deliver gigawatt-scale infrastructure, and the Montera leadership team has done it before. That is why I joined, along with the chance to build the legal and commercial framework for infrastructure the global economy now runs on,” said Landfair.

Montera’s leadership team is comprised of industry leaders with extensive experience at leading data center operators and hyperscale companies, including Google, Oracle, Equinix, Digital Realty Trust, Aligned Data Centers, and Meta. Together, they have delivered 8+ GW of data center facilities to market.
