Equinix, Inc., a firm specializing in Internet connections and data centers, hired Google Cloud's executive Adaire Fox-Martin as its next chief executive officer. Her appointment is part of the company's leadership transition as it unveils its succession plans.
Equinix said that Fox-Martin's appointment would take effect in the last part of the second quarter. All the leadership changes will also occur in the schedule this year. According to Reuters, the incoming CEO has been a member of Equinix's board since 2020, and she will replace Charles Meyers.
Leadership Transitions at Equinix
Before being hired by Equinix, Fox-Martin worked three years at Alphabet's Google Cloud computing services platform. She also held executive global roles at Oracle and SAP software companies.
As Fox-Martin will soon assume the role of Equinix's new president and CEO, Meyers will step aside and move to the executive chairman role. He is vacating his office after leading the firm for six years. In addition, Peter Van Camp, the current executive chair, is stepping down as a board member and will take on a special advisory role for the board.
Meyers Impressive Tenure at the Company
Charles Meyers was hired by Equinix in 2010 and promoted to CEO in 2018. He helped establish the firm's successful strategy and expanded Platform Equinix to over 70 markets covering 33 countries.
"Digital transformation is reshaping the basis of competition for industries across the globe, and the rapid adoption of AI is accelerating that dynamic," outgoing Equinix CEO Charles Meyers said in a press release. "These pivotal shifts have created an extraordinary demand environment for digital infrastructure, and our distinctive advantages create an exceptional long-term opportunity for Equinix."
Meyers said he is confident that Fox-Martin's vast capabilities and experience will benefit the team and business culture. Moreover, under her leadership, Meyers believes she will help the company meet clients' changing needs while fueling Equinix's growth and unlocking the "extraordinary power of Platform Equinix."
On the other hand, Fox-Martin commented, "In today's dynamic digital landscape, Equinix has uniquely amassed global reach, highly differentiated ecosystems, strong partner relationships, and an innovative range of product and service offerings. Coupled with my passionate belief in the vision, mission, and values of Equinix, I am excited to leverage my experience in driving business transformations and building for scale to drive continued innovation and growth at Equinix."
