About Sophy Englund

Build and scale out is one of my favorite challenges. With years of experience in network and data center platforms, I know how to solve with the global digital infrastructure. Recognized as a driver, negotiator, and team builder, I create GTM playbooks, forge carrier-rich ecosystems, and position data center platforms to compete — and win — on a global stage. Multilingual in Swedish, Spanish, and English, I navigate diverse markets, build cross-cultural teams, and deliver sustainable growth for next-generation digital infrastructure.My passion is to scale out the technology platform globally and keep learning as I go. I love a challenge and growing into new areas. Key focus areas, US/LATAM/APAC, Datacenter, Bare Metal, Storage Partners, and Global Networks.
