illumynt, a technology-driven leader in AI hardware lifecycle recovery and IT asset disposition (ITAD), today announced that Anthony "Tony" Giannetti has joined the company as Senior Vice President of Global Operations, effective July 13, 2026.
Giannetti brings more than two decades of operations and supply chain leadership from some of the technology industry's largest OEMs, including Dell, where he managed reverse supply chain operations, and Apple and Microsoft, where he held additional operations leadership roles. His background spans production engineering, reverse logistics, and large-scale operational management, disciplines directly relevant to illumynt's work certifying and recovering value from retired AI infrastructure at scale.
"Tony has spent his career on the operational side of exactly the problem we solve for our customers — how to move retired technology through a supply chain without losing the value still in it," said Jörg Herbarth, CEO of illumynt. "That perspective is invaluable as we grow our global operations and deepen our relationships with the OEMs and hyperscalers who trust us with their hardware."
Giannetti's appointment comes as illumynt continues to expand its global operational footprint, including the upcoming opening of the Talorem Innovation Center in Columbus, Ohio, this fall. This facility will expand illumynt's engineering-grade testing, grading, and recovery capacity pushing what's possible in AI hardware lifecycle recovery even further.
"I spent years on the OEM side wrestling with what happens to hardware after its first deployment. illumynt is the first team I've seen bring real engineering infrastructure to that problem instead of just logistics. I'm looking forward to helping scale that globally," said Giannetti.
Giannetti holds a Bachelor of Science from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a master's degree from the University of Texas at Austin.
