VivoPower Appoints Former Microsoft And G42 AI Leader To Advisory Council
VivoPower named Khadija Mustafa to its Advisory Council as the company pursues a strategy focused on AI infrastructure and sovereign compute. Mustafa spent more than 20 years at Microsoft leading go-to-market strategies for AI and autonomous systems, and later served as head of global partnerships for Core42, part of Abu Dhabi-based G42.
Mustafa is founder and CEO of Beyyond.ai, which builds AI ecosystems for governments, enterprises, and investors. At Microsoft, she oversaw large-scale commercial operations and supply chains, and expanded health technology initiatives across 79 countries in the Middle East and Africa. She also played a role in a major $8.5 billion technology acquisition.
Why VivoPower Made The Move
VivoPower develops and owns powered land and data center infrastructure to support AI compute applications. The company said Mustafa's appointment strengthens its ability to execute on a global AI infrastructure strategy as demand grows for sovereign AI capabilities.
Mustafa's network across hyperscalers, sovereign institutions, and AI companies is expected to help VivoPower accelerate partnerships, unlock capital opportunities, and expand into new markets. Her experience operating at the intersection of infrastructure, capital, and policy addresses a growing priority: nations increasingly want control over their AI infrastructure and data ecosystems.
What Mustafa Said
"Sovereign AI is becoming the operating system of nations, shaping how they compete, secure their interests, and govern in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape," Mustafa said. "The defining question is no longer access to intelligence, but control over the physical foundations that enable it."
She added that VivoPower is "building at this critical convergence of energy, land, and compute with clarity and focus, and is uniquely positioned to shape how sovereign AI infrastructure is developed and accessed in the years ahead."
Executive Perspective
Kevin Chin, VivoPower's Executive Chairman and CEO, said Mustafa "has built and scaled AI businesses across some of the world's most competitive and strategically important markets, and she understands how infrastructure, capital, and policy intersect in the AI era across multiple sovereign jurisdictions globally."
