I joined the Equinix community because I would like to open new paths for me within the company. I am an Sales Support Associate working from STO Chile for deals within Chile (so Spanish and English are my languages of choice). I am afraid that given my hierarchy within the company, I haven’t been considered for Equinix events, meetups, or conferences. Whenever I am not requesting quotes, creating opportunities and agreements in SFDC, I enjoy riding my road bicycle. I usually clock in around 10 hours a week, and I complement that with the 2 Active Breaks that I lead here at the office as a Volunteer Active Breaks Facilitator (with rubber bands and mats).

Greetings from the sunny island of Singapore! Totally stoked to be part of this community!
I'm Kit and I work on the Product Management team for Smart Hands, bringing new service offering and enhancing existing to bring grater convenience and peace of mind to our customers. What really brought me to this community is to get directly in touch with the very users of my Smart Hands to help them in any way within my power.
On the personal side, I'm another geek that's really passionate about leveraging on technologies to improve lives and express myself so photography is a big part of me.
Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to know all of you!

Hello everyone,
My name is Mariola, although you will find me by Maria de la O Gomez, which is my legal name. I am based in Madrid (Spain) and I work as Program Manager, Tools and Processes in Revenue Operations.
I believe in teamwork and collaboration, that's why I try to collaborate with communities like EECNS, WRE or this one. I am very passionate about flowers in general, and orchids in particular, and a fan of dancing, especially salsa and bachata. 🌺🌷🌹 - HerveJLINEquinix Employee
