Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer & Rackspace Foundation Executive Sponsor

I proudly lead the Global Human Resources Function. I am a member of the Executive Committee. I lead the Healthcare Customer Advisory Board and am the Executive Sponsor for our AWS and Healthcare. I began my Rackspace journey in March 2023.

The Rackspace Foundation is meaningful to me because giving back to the communities in which we do business is a critical part of my belief system. In addition, I feel a deep connection to Rackers who give back and I want to represent them well.

I joined Rackspace in November 2015. I partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to bring the organization’s most important priorities to life. From leading key initiatives to overseeing operations, I help connect people, ideas, and resources to keep the organization moving forward and focused on making a meaningful impact.

The Rackspace Foundation does wonderful work for our local communities, and I am proud to be a guiding force to continue raising awareness and engagement so our good work may continue for years to come.

VP, Global Tax and Supply Chain & Rackspace Foundation Treasurer

I joined Rackspace in June 2012 and currently oversee the Global Tax function as well as Supply Chain and Procurement. I joined the Rackspace Foundation because I wanted to contribute to the Rackspace Technology community in a new way. Since joining the board, I have enjoyed working directly with the incredible programs we support. It’s been amazing to learn more about these programs, the support they provide to the schools and students in our areas, and their history with the Rackspace Foundation.

Manager, Strategic Operations – CFO Office

I've been a Racker since September 2015 and have worked across our Sales, Marketing and Finance organizations. Today, I lead AI enablement and adoption for the CFO Group. Our commitment to giving back in the communities we serve is part of what makes Rackspace different, and the Foundation is where that shows up best. Helping people learn to work with new technology is what I do every day, and supporting students who are learning those same skills is work I deeply care about.

I joined Rackspace in 2023 and currently Head HR for the APAC region, while also partnering as a Global HR Business Partner for the Delivery organization. My passion lies in building high-performing teams, developing leaders, and creating an environment where people can do their best work.

Beyond my professional role, giving back to the community is something that has always been close to my heart. I strongly believe that businesses and individuals have a responsibility to create a positive impact beyond the workplace. This is why I am particularly proud to be a member of the Rackspace Foundation Board, where I have the opportunity to contribute to initiatives that support communities and help make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

Director, Customer Success

As a proud Racker since August 2010 and someone who wakes up every day looking for ways to serve others, I have had the opportunity to hold a variety of leadership roles across Customer Success and Global Operations. Throughout my career at Rackspace, I have been motivated by a desire to make a difference—not only for our customers and our business, but also for the communities we serve.

I’m honored to serve on the Rackspace Foundation Board, where I can help support programs that create meaningful impact for people and communities around the world. I’m especially passionate about helping Rackers find meaningful ways to give back and creating opportunities for our coworkers to engage, volunteer, and make a difference together. I believe our greatest impact comes when we combine our resources, our talent, and our passion for serving others.

Manager, Customer Success

I’ve been a Racker since 2013, spending nearly all of that time in Customer Success Engineering roles. Today, I lead US Enterprise Customer Success Engineering. Throughout my time at Rackspace, the spirit of being “here to help” has been a meaningful part of how I approach my work and support others.

I’ve supported the Rackspace Foundation since my first day as a Racker and joined the board to find more ways to bring that spirit into our communities. I’m especially excited to help advance STEM education, encouraging students to explore new interests, build skills, and discover opportunities for their future. I want to help create opportunities that spark curiosity, build confidence, and connect students with people who can help them see what’s possible.

Instructional Designer

I joined Rackspace in July 2024 and I am the instructional designer for Rackspace University.

I joined the Rackspace Foundation because I wanted to play a role in inspiring the next generation of lifelong learners and creating opportunities for students to explore STEM at an early age. Since joining the board, I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand the impact Rackers make in our communities through their time, support, and generosity.

It has been incredibly rewarding to play a small part in supporting schools, programs, and organizations that give students meaningful opportunities to learn, explore, and gain hands-on experience in STEM. I’m proud to contribute to the Foundation’s work and help create experiences that can spark curiosity and open doors for students.
