Dennis Wolbrink, Business Unit Manager Europe at EPI, is dedicated to shaping the future of the data centre workforce. At 33, he blends modern insights with deep industry expertise, helping businesses stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape. The biggest risk to the industry isn’t technology—it’s the lack of skilled professionals to run it. With a strong background in business development and workforce strategy, Dennis has worked with leading data centre operators to bridge skill gaps, build career programs, and develop talent pipelines. As the industry faces a major workforce transition, he pushes for bold, innovative strategies in training, engagement, and retention. Over 35% of today’s professionals will retire within the next decade—companies that fail to act now will struggle to compete. At EPI, a global leader in data centre training and certification, Dennis ensures professionals are equipped for the future. He champions a people-centric approach, proving that combining tradition with innovation is the key to building a stronger, smarter, and more resilient industry.
