Alex Bouzari (DDN): GPU Efficiency, Data Centers & Style

DDN CEO Alex Bouzari returns after a Forbes profile ('AI's latest rocket ship,' ~$400M revenue in 2024, ~$500M in 2025, tracking to $1B in 2026). He details the NVIDIA partnership ahead of Vera Rubin, GPU efficiency math (30% utilization without DDN, a 3x gain today and 10x-100x predicted), the global power and data center shortage, the xAI Colossus four-month buildout as the velocity benchmark, and Europe's sovereign-AI permitting and financing gaps. He ends on why design and Europe's cultural diversity drive better innovation — 'technology is not just the black t-shirt and jeans.'
