"Chris is an engineer at heart who knows how to solve complex technical challenges at the intersection of infrastructure, software, and AI," Fox-Martin said.

Owen is a 16-year Equinix veteran who most recently served as President of EMEA. In his expanded role, he will oversee the company's regional operations across the Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific. Owen has previously held positions including Managing Director for the United Kingdom, Chief of Staff to the CEO, VP of Business Operations, and President of the Equinix Foundation.

"Bruce is one of the most accomplished leaders we have at Equinix," Fox-Martin said. "His breadth of experience gives him a rare combination of strategic depth and operational credibility."
