What would you describe as your most memorable achievement in the data centre industry ?
Introducing AI into networking for clients has been one of the most memorable achievements because of all the amazing benefits and capabilities AI can provide . We have been able to use AI to help our team and clients find networking faults more swiftly . This is because the AI in networking can identify cable failures , faults and can even map out the cables , saving a lot of time and hassle .
What first made you think of a career in technology / data centres ?
I started developing software for care homes and the public sector in 2014 . However , I was starting to get fed up with using hosting providers , because we were always encountering issues . So , to resolve the issues we were facing , we got the equipment and tools to host our systems ourselves , which over time evolved as we moved to cloud and then colocation .
What style of management philosophy do you employ with your current position ?
The style of management philosophy that I employ with my current position is the same as our company ethos : Compassion , Protect , Innovate . Prioritising staff and protecting them is important , but compassion is also key in the workplace . By pushing individuals to excel . This philosophy and management not only ensures a secure work environment but also helps both employees and the company towards constant improvement .
