QII Appoints Chris Kapper as Executive Vice President, Pre-Development

Kapper will lead the company's pre-development team, overseeing site evaluation, regulatory planning, and early-stage project development. QII also announced the appointments of Daniel "Danny" Kelly as Vice President of Pre-Development and Kyle Riley as Director of Pre-Development.

Chris Kapper joins QII after holding senior development leadership roles at QTS Data Centers, including Senior Vice President of Development, where he led the planning and early development of large-scale data center projects. Earlier, he served as Director of Strategy and Development at STACK Infrastructure.

Danny Kelly will help lead QII's pre-development activities across its powered infrastructure projects. Before joining the company, he spent nearly four years at QTS Data Centers, most recently as Director of Pre-Development. Earlier in his career, he worked at CenterPoint Integrated Solutions, where he managed project feasibility, entitlements, and construction.

Kyle Riley will focus on site readiness, entitlements, and early-stage planning to prepare powered sites for development. He previously held project management roles at QTS Data Centers and earlier worked as a forward planner at D.R. Horton.

“Danny and Kyle are among the best in the industry and have executed this work at scale,” Kapper said. “They know how to work through the constraints that often surface early in a site’s development process. They know which questions will get a project moving and how to keep that momentum going.”

“Pre-development is where you find out whether a site can become a real project,” said Kapper. “That work starts long before construction. You have to ask the hard questions early, build trust with the community, and form the partnerships that help a project move forward responsibly.”

“Having worked with Chris before, I know he’s one of the best pre-development leaders in the business,” said Chad Williams, chairman and CEO of QII. “He has the technical skill this work requires, but what sets him apart is that he never loses sight of the people and communities connected to every site. That’s what our People Forward culture looks like in practice, and it’s why we’re honored to have him leading our pre-development team.”
