With our customer growth rate of 40% annually, we are tracking to upgrade our core to 1.2Tb/s early next year.

Technology is important however equally important is someone who can build first-class relationships with key stakeholders and can showcase an approach to leading and managing managers that resonates with our values and culture. The customer will always be front and centre.
