Supporting APAC Operations Leadership
As Chief of Staff to the SVP of Operations, APAC, Ritu will support regional leadership across strategic priorities, operational initiatives, and cross-functional execution.
Chief of staff roles within large technology organizations often serve as an important link between senior leadership and broader teams, helping translate priorities into coordinated execution while maintaining alignment across functions and markets.

In announcing the move, she expressed gratitude to her former colleagues and friends at Cloudflare, highlighting the opportunity and learnings from her time with the company.
Her transition from Cloudflare to Equinix also brings experience from a technology environment closely connected to the broader infrastructure, connectivity, and cloud ecosystem.

APAC remains an important market for digital infrastructure providers as enterprises, cloud platforms, and digital businesses continue to expand their technology requirements across the region.
Equinix operates a global network of data centers and digital infrastructure services, providing interconnection and colocation capabilities to businesses and technology providers.
Against this backdrop, effective regional operations and coordination are increasingly important as infrastructure providers manage complex customer, partner, and market requirements across multiple countries.
Looking Ahead
Ritu's appointment comes as Equinix continues to build its digital infrastructure platform and strengthen operations across APAC.
In her new role, she will work closely with the SVP of Operations, APAC, and regional teams to support priorities and execution across the business.
