Q . HOW ARE YOU DRIVING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN YOUR ORGANISATION ?
» At Equinix , we ’ re the world ’ s digital infrastructure leader , with hundreds of data centres spanning 70 global markets . My job is to help make accessing the global reach , ecosystems and trusted operations of our platform faster , easier and more automated .

As such , I see my role ( both internally at Equinix and for our customers ) as providing the world ’ s best fundamental infrastructure automation . If we can do that , then more companies can use digital infrastructure for their competitive advantage – to save money , to create new and better outcomes .
