She succeeds Ignacio Velilla, who becomes VP Global of Managed Services in the company
MADRID, Spain – March 7, 2023 — Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX, news, filings), the world’s digital infrastructure company™, has appointed Eulalia Flo as its new Managing Director for Spain. Eulalia takes the reigns of the business in Spain with the aim of continuing to celebrate the growth of the Spanish business by supporting the strategic digital infrastructure needs of customers both locally and across the Equinix platform. Eulalia will work closely with customers, supporting them to meet their sustainability goals as the demand for data in the country continues to increase at pace.
Eulalia, who is originally from Barcelona, takes over the role of Managing Director of Spain from Ignacio Velilla who has taken on a new role as VP Global Managed Services in the company. As well as a focus on growth and sustainability, Eulalia will build on the strong foundations and reputation of Equinix in Spain as a key strategic interconnection player with key hubs in Madrid and Barcelona. She will continue to champion the importance and the influence of Spain in the global digital infrastructure industry.
Eulalia joins Equinix from Commvault, a company she led as Iberia’s General Manager for the last five years. During her time there, Eulalia was focused on driving the company’s growth, rebuilding its partner ecosystem and successfully refocusing the company to target enterprise customers.
Eulalia will draw on her deep experience of project management, consulting and sales in companies such as Capgemini, Business Objects, Symantec and Dell to drive Equinix’s goals of supporting digital business transformation, building high-performing teams, and developing partnerships between customers and the wider business ecosystem.
Eulalia Flo, Equinix’s new Managing Director of Equinix for Spain, said: “I am very proud to join a company with exceptional values and which is at the very heart of the development of the digital economy in Spain. As organisations of all sizes are driving change for a more sustainable future, my aim is to simplify those efforts and support customers to achieve their goals by working closely with them as well as regional and local governments to ensure we continue to make a positive impact on the local and, ultimately, global economy.”
Earlier in February 2023, Equinix announced it will be building a second data center in Barcelona to meet the growing connectivity demands of Spain and the Mediterranean as a whole.
Eulalia added “There is a huge opportunity ahead to capitalise on the increasing role cities like Madrid and Barcelona are playing as key technology hubs that are attracting more and more international investment. I am convinced that the digital market in Spain has enormous potential and that data center and interconnection will be even more critical pillars for business success, wealth, and social progress.”
Commenting on Eulalia’s appointment and the importance of Spain as a connectivity hub, Judith Gardiner, Vice President for Growth and Emerging Markets at Equinix said: “I’m delighted to be welcoming yet another experienced leader in Eulalia to Equinix in her new role as Managing Director for Spain.
Spain is a vital strategic hub for Equinix, connecting multiple countries via subsea cables from key metros throughout the Mediterranean, coastal Africa and the Middle East. We have made great strides in supporting the growth of the digital economy in Spain and so it is a great pleasure to be able to appoint someone with the skill and experience of Eulalia who can build on the great work of Ignacio Velilla and will continue to grow the business in Spain, sustainably and strategically.”
