 Hey, everyone. Welcome to a special edition of JSA TV and JSA podcast, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Jamie Scott of Kataya and joining me today is Laura Ortman, Collogix's newly appointed Chief Executive Officer. Laura, welcome to JSA TV. Thank you, Jamie. It is really exciting to have you here. Of course, congratulations on your appointment to CEO. And before we go ahead and discuss this very exciting news, let's just set the stage here. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your background at Collogix. Sure. Well, first of all, thank you, Jamie, for having me on the show and very excited to be here. It's really an exciting time for Collogix and I'm absolutely thrilled for the opportunity to be CEO, to lead not only this amazing company, but really our incredible team. I have a long standing background in the technology industry with 25 years of global experience. I've held executive leadership positions with Equinex and VMware before joining Collogix in August of 2018 as President and Chief Revenue Officer. So in this role as President and Chief Revenue Officer, I drove Collogix sales and revenue strategy while also creating a customer-centric company culture focus on strong team execution but also winning together. My responsibilities expanded to include leading the company's product, technology and IT strategy. During this time, Collogix delivered double digit revenue growth and really it took everyone across the organization to deliver this growth. As part of the succession planning, I was appointed to become Collogix's next CEO. So when I looked at to join Collogix, the marketing growth trajectory was really tremendous. And this was a great opportunity for me to work with Bill Fathers and Don Smith, again, who I also worked at VMware. They're two absolutely amazing leaders. And in addition to that, we had very strong partnership with our private equity firm. So big infrastructure. So with the combination of the market, the leadership team and our partnership with Stone Peak, I knew it would be successful. Absolutely. And of course, this announcement very headline worthy, you being the first woman CEO at Collogix. I know you're also fostering gender diversity head on at Collogix. Can you tell us why closing the gender gap is so important for us as women? Yeah, so as part of our ESG initiatives, we are continuously working on creating diversity and inclusive environment. So currently, Collogix has more than 50% female representation on our leadership team, which is really incredible in the technology industry. I also spearheaded the company's first employee resource group with Don Smith called Collogix Women's Connection Network, CWCN, where we have over 90% participation. And last year, we really formalize our DNI initiatives, our diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, really programming to help drive diverse program moving forward. You know, I've been an advocate for women working in the technology industry. You know, I believe it's important to mentor and encourage more women to have careers in the technology industry, as well as the data center industry. I have the opportunity as I'm mentoring women college students and also women coming into the technology industry. And also I volunteer and serve on several higher education board. And so really focusing on helping students come into, you know, early on in their career, and really helping the business programs across University of Colorado and University of Alabama and Huntsville. And so, you know, a lot of focus has been on helping and, you know, giving back. So, you know, the last piece I would say, Jamie, is I really want to set an example for my two daughters. You know, I want to inspire girls to get into the technology field or business and leadership positions. You know, they essentially can accomplish anything they aspire to. And I want to be an example for them. Well, you are an example for all of us. We are, and I speak as a mom of a daughter as well, but also as a woman in the data center field for decades. And watching you just have this incredible career has been just so inspiring. So thank you, you know, when you have more diverse perspectives at the boardroom table, that equates to total growth and collogics experience a monumental year, $3 billion recap, not to mention, of course, your continued growth and expanding partnerships in the data center marketplace.
