    Tell us about your career journey.

    I completed my engineering and worked for JPMC as a consultant for three years. I then decided to get a Masters and completed my MBA from Virginia Tech. Got placed with Rackspace through a campus recruitment drive and joined the Email hosting team as a quality engineer. It has been 7 years since. Currently I am a technical product manager for Microsoft Office 365, one of the fastest growing products at Rackspace.

    Why should someone join your team?

    Our team is made up of individuals that are smart and collaborative. They respect each other’s opinions when making decisions which I think is very important in a team. Our team is working on simplifying the Microsoft Office

    365 experience for our customers. This is a complex product but my team members are proven performers and passionately work together to deliver quality products on time.

    We hear you are a member of POWER at Rackspace. Can you tell us a bit more?

    POWER (Professional Organization for Women’s Empowerment at Rackspace) is a Racker Resource Group that provides women at Rackspace growth opportunities, access to senior leaders, and opportunities for internal and external recognition. By focusing on elevating women, Rackspace has had year-over-year increases in the percentage of women hired. In 2015 Rackspace was named one of the best places for women in technology by the Anita Borg Institute. Professionally, It has been good for me to be part of this group.

    What do you like to do in your spare time?

    Besides running after my three year old and one year old? I enjoy cooking and watching soccer.

    If you could have coffee with anyone, who would it be and why?

    Tricky question, I think I would like to meet Ellen Degeneres. Smart, funny, successful, and positive are words I associate with her and I strive to be the same! Also, I enjoy sipping my coffee, and I am sure she will be great company!

    How did you find Rackspace?

    In a previous role I was a happy customer of Rackspace, and when I moved to San Antonio I applied for a developer role while exploring the web site for cloud offerings.

    Tell us a bit about your career journey.

    I was hired into web team within Marketing as a software developer to work on www.rackspace.com and various other customer-facing web properties. Over the years I have been promoted to senior levels of software developer, and eventually was nominated and selected to join the advanced technical leadership program at Rackspace known as the Technical Career Track (TCT).

    Oh really? Tell us a bit more about the Technical Career Track (TCT) at Rackspace.

    TCT is designed to attract, retain, and

    grow technical talent, offering technical individual contributors a non-people-management career path and leadership. TCT Rackers are exposed to a broader range of business problems, opportunities, and senior leadership. They are embedded within their Business Units, solving tough, technical challenges that enable the goals of their BU and the business strategy as a whole.

    Why should someone join your team?

    My team is a high-performing, high-visibility team composed of top marketers, developers, automation specialists, and the leadership necessary to carry out our work. Anyone joining this team will learn a great deal on a constant basis, will have the opportunity to explore various technologies and programs, and be an integral part of the public face of Rackspace.

    Describe your team in 3 words.

    Smart, humble, effective

    What do you like to do in your spare time?

    I am a full-time parent and husband, and I love it.

    Windows or Linux?

    Linux, but I run a tight ship on Windows, too.

    Where do you want to travel to next?

    Anywhere there is family, friends, and food.

    Technical Support Team Lead | 4 year Racker | Cardiff, UK

    What do you look for when hiring Network Security members to your team?

    Technically, I look for Cisco, F5, Juniper and Checkpoint mainly, but I also look for energetic, excited, and dynamic people with a real passion and drive for what they do.

    Describe your team in 3 words.

    3? Can I have more? I would say, hardworking, dedicated and progressive. They're a brilliant team to work with.

    What should someone expect of you as a leader?

    Rackers should expect clarity, consistency, honesty and respect. The team does an incredible job working so hard on everything they do, and they consistently deliver good, high quality work that often exceeds my expectations. It's only right that they're given the responsibility

    that they deserve. They would probably say that you should expect free food!

    Every quarter, the team gets a ‘fun budget’ – money to do something as a team. What would your ideal fun budget event be?

    I'd like to send them away to have a go in a Seabreacher. One of the team showed it to me, I think hinting that he'd like a go. It's like a 2 seater boat that looks like a shark, that can dive under the water for a few seconds and then launches up through the water. I've just found out that the new one has an iPod dock, so you can listen to your own tunes. Winner!

    If you could meet anyone in real life who would it be and why?

    Are we allowed to use people that have passed away? I'd like to meet J.R.R.

    Tolkien. I'm a massive nerd and his work has influenced so many of the films, books and games that I am interested in.

    Why would a Network Security Professional want to work at Rackspace?

    I think that Rackspace offers so much. There's training, development, automation, a wide range of customers to work with, everything is different every day. There's a real sense of togetherness with everyone I've worked with, and I'm really excited by the future. If you compare Rackspace to other companies that offer a similar service, there is so much opportunity here, it's unreal. I get to work with the most talented, driven and genuinely engaged people, and I'm keen to see this continue. We're undergoing a few changes, but we're all really excited about the future.

    Leanna L.

    Commercial Sales Representative | 3 year Racker | Sydney, Australia

    Tell us a bit about your career journey.

    I have only worked for 3 organizations in my 10 year sales career so far, and lucky enough to have progressed in each of them in a number of roles from pure cold-calling, to full field sales as well as sales management. At Rackspace I have progressed from a Level 1 to Level 2 Commercial Seller for my success and enjoy the bigger challenge of targeting larger organizations and therefore more complex sales cycles and processes which of course come with bigger rewards!

    Why should someone join your team?

    We strongly support one-another and have each other’s backs. Rackspace has gone through a multitude of change just in the 3 years I’ve been here and you have to be ready to evolve with a fast-paced industry. But no matter what, in good times and bad, we have stuck together as a team to help each other be successful. They are all truly friends as well as colleagues.

    How did you find Rackspace?

    When I started my sales career, I worked for a software company in London who was (and still is!) a Rackspace customer and other sales reps who were on courses with me joined Rackspace and told me of their experiences and the awesome culture. I was approached for this role when I moved to Sydney and the recruiter described the organization and the culture (without them revealing the name) and I instantly guessed who it was and the recruiter thought they’d mentioned it by mistake! I just got really excited, because after working for a few drier culture-less organizations I was ready to leap into what I knew would be a fantastic place to work where I can feel energized and happy to be there.

    Describe your team in 3 words.

    Supportive, Energetic, Fun

    Where are you located? What’s the best part of that office?

    Sydney – Australia! We have all of the benefits of being part of a large global brand, but in a smaller <100 person office we really get to know everyone here across all departments. Our culture really brings us together to work and play hard.

    What do you like to do in your spare time?

    My biggest passion is skydiving, I hold 2 Australian Skydiving records and have nearly 600 jumps so far. When I’m not jumping out of planes, I love traveling, playing board games, solving puzzles and keeping active.

    Tell us one unique thing about you.

    I have lived in 4 countries, on 4 continents.
