and EPFL University in Lausanne. It has also launched a pioneering scholarship scheme in the UK for girls studying STEM subjects.
“ We need to make sure, in the harder to reach markets and societies that we’ re in, that we create our own STACK culture and we will drive that through,” John adds.
And, with the STACK Academy specifically bringing in talent directly from the communities in which it operates – Milan, Geneva and Oslo, for this year – it feeds back into STACK’ s social impact drive to create value.
John continues:“ There’ s a business driver behind that as well. We are building facilities that are going to be there for more than 30 years, so I want my employees to live within 10, 20 minutes of the data centres. Operating in these areas, we want to give back to these communities. It makes good business sense to have your employee talent pool on the doorstep.”
Fostering an inclusive culture John wants STACK to be a place where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute.
The company’ s rapid growth and integration of new teams have undoubtedly tested his workforce, but John believes the results speak for themselves.
The message is clear: STACK’ s reputation for inclusivity and opportunity is attracting top talent from across the industry. He sees this as a sign that the company is on the right track, both culturally and commercially.
For John, the future of STACK in EMEA is inseparable from its commitment to people, community and meaningful social impact.
As the company continues its rapid growth across Europe, John remains focused on fostering an inclusive culture and expanding initiatives, like the STACK Academy.
For John and STACK, success will always be defined by the positive legacy they leave behind and the lives they help transform.
