My journey toward a career in the data center industry began after holding several roles in which I helped customers solve complex challenges within the chemical processing, air and gas systems, and HVAC industries. This includes several leadership positions and roles in sales, marketing, and general management, where I promoted industrial equipment and HVAC product lines. I have always been fascinated by the constant innovation of mechanical systems and how they help make industrial processes more efficient while also helping drive business outcomes.
Those prior roles led me to joining Johnson Controls in 2018. In my starting role, I supported service growth of the building technologies and solutions business. After a few years, I began to apply equipment and international air distribution products. These roles allowed me to work directly with the people and technologies that help advance data center operations daily. It was here my passion for data center technologies was born — I understood my role in helping Johnson Controls be a champion of data center sustainability by improving operational efficiencies.
