Summarize with

Aramark has appointed Pat Liebler as president and CEO of Aramark Nexus, a newly created business unit focused on providing integrated support services for hyperscale AI data centers and other large-scale workforce environments, according to a press release. Launched in spring 2026, the division combines Aramark's capabilities in housing, dining, transportation, supply chain management, wellness, security, recreation and other workforce services into a single operating model designed for remote and complex locations.

Liebler brings more than three decades of hospitality and foodservice experience to the role and most recently served as president and CEO of Aramark Refreshments. The Nexus division was created after Aramark was selected by a major global hyperscale technology company to provide hospitality and facilities services across multiple AI data center sites.

Company officials said the model is intended to scale internationally and builds on Aramark's experience supporting workers in challenging environments such as offshore energy facilities, mining operations and national parks.
