VivoPower announced the appointment of Khadija Mustafa, a former global AI business leader at Microsoft and executive at G42, to its Advisory Council as the company accelerates its strategy in AI infrastructure and sovereign compute.
Mustafa brings more than two decades of experience in global technology leadership, with expertise spanning artificial intelligence strategy, international partnerships, and commercialization across major global markets. She is the founder and CEO of Beyyond.ai, a firm focused on building AI ecosystems for governments, enterprises, and investors.
Prior to founding Beyyond.ai, Mustafa spent over 20 years at Microsoft, where she led go-to-market strategies for AI and autonomous systems and played a role in a major $8.5 billion technology acquisition. She also oversaw large-scale commercial operations and supply chains, and helped expand health technology initiatives across 79 countries in the Middle East and Africa. Additionally, she served as head of global partnerships for Core42, part of Abu Dhabi-based AI firm G42.
VivoPower said Mustafa’s appointment strengthens its ability to execute on its global AI infrastructure strategy, particularly as demand grows for sovereign AI capabilities. The company focuses on developing and owning powered land and data center infrastructure to support AI compute applications.
Mustafa’s global 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 is seen as particularly valuable as nations increasingly prioritize control over AI infrastructure and data ecosystems.
KEY QUOTES:
“I’m pleased to be joining VivoPower. Sovereign AI is becoming the operating system of nations, shaping how they compete, secure their interests, and govern in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. The defining question is no longer access to intelligence, but control over the physical foundations that enable it.”
Khadija Mustafa, Advisory Council Member, VivoPower
“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.”
Khadija Mustafa, Advisory Council Member, VivoPower
“I am honored to welcome Khadija to VivoPower. She 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.”
Kevin Chin, Executive Chairman And CEO, VivoPower
