TheJobWalk Thoughts:

Big data center programs don’t fall apart all at once. They grind down slowly. One unanswered question at a time. One meeting where everyone’s present but no one’s actually responsible. Stream’s leadership shuffle looks designed to head that off. Putting a long time operator in the CEO seat keeps decisions tied to how projects really move, not how they look on a slide. Breaking customer, development, operations, and sustainability into clear lanes matters when power scopes overlap, utilities lag, and everyone wants an answer by Friday. This feels like a team that’s been in enough recovery meetings to know the goal isn’t winning them, it’s not needing them in the first place.
