● Team Builder & Mentor: History of hiring, mentoring, and growing high-performing, globally distributed teams in a 24x7x365 environment.

● Technical Depth & Breadth: Thorough understanding of data center operations, cloud services, networking, and security.

● Operational Excellence: Experience developing metrics-driven processes to measure availability, performance, cost, and risk, strongly focusing on continuous improvement.

● Strategic Visionary & Hands-On: Proven ability to balance long-term strategy with the technical savvy to operate at a tactical level when necessary.

● Collaborative Communicator: Skilled at building multi-functional relationships, influencing customers, and presenting complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

You thrive in a fast-paced, innovative environment where you can blend strategic leadership with a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to execution. You are passionate about delivering robust, strong online infrastructure that powers incredible gaming

experiences—and you bring the vision, expertise, and teamwork skills to make it happen.
