Looking Back: How Trust is the Key Platform to Build Our Future

We have come to the end of another year of this global pandemic, which has been a weight on all our shoulders. For many of us, it has created unique situations that we've had to deal with for the first time in our lives. At the same time, through all these challenges, we have continued to keep our local economies and institutions running.

As we look back over 2021, I must admit that there have been moments that I have felt overwhelmed. The lack of in-person interaction, due to pandemic restrictions, made it challenging to develop meaningful connections; not only for myself, but many of my customer and partner peers have expressed similar experiences.

What really stood out through my various conversations is that the organizations with a strong cultural infrastructure are the most resilient. Enterprises, like ours, that have a foundation built on core values that sustain trust, innovation and collaboration continue to move forward and grow. We live our culture and values, which we call the "Magic of Equinix." It describes the collective personality of our company-collaborating with multiple teams to land customers in multiple locations and putting the customer at the center of everything we do. This helps us deliver on our purpose to be the platform where the world comes together, enabling the innovations that enrich our work, life and planet.
