With a role that devotes significant energy to building the digital backbone of tomorrow, how do you reserve time and space for supporting your own needs and preserving a balance between your professional obligations and personal life?
That’s a great question for someone who recently made the decision to retire and very, very quickly decided to un-retire! While I thrive on learning new things and find this whole industry so exciting, I of course also need some non-work time. I enjoy traveling. I try to swim three or four times a week.
I have the privilege of living a life where I work in a very fast paced environment in central London, but on the weekends, I get to go and live a life of tranquility with my family. I live in the countryside, so I enjoy watching the deer in my garden and the ever-changing landscape in the field behind my house. Some months will have sheep, and very recently, a herd of cattle moved in.
I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I have created a good work-life balance. There’s always more to learn, more to contribute, and I’m excited about continuing to grow the Digital Realty business in EMEA and with my colleagues across the globe.
