Equinix Welcomes Olivier Leonetti as the New CFO

Equinix, Inc., the leading global provider of digital infrastructure solutions, has formally announced the appointment of Olivier Leonetti as its next Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective March 16, 2026. This comes as the company prepares for the retirement of long-time CFO Keith Taylor, who has provided invaluable financial leadership for the organization over the past 27 years.

Leonetti is a seasoned executive with an impressive track record, bringing over three decades of experience in financial management, particularly in sectors related to technology and infrastructure. Prior to joining Equinix, Leonetti held the CFO position at Eaton, a company recognized for its power management solutions and significant contributions to the data center industry. His extensive experience includes CFO roles at well-known companies such as Johnson Controls, Zebra Technologies, and Western Digital, as well as senior finance positions at Dell and Amgen.

Adaire Fox-Martin, CEO and President of Equinix, expressed confidence in Leonetti's capabilities, praising him as an "exceptional leader with a distinguished track record of delivering strong results." Fox-Martin emphasized that Leonetti's strategic vision and strong financial insight would greatly benefit Equinix as the company continues to focus on executing its priorities to enhance customer service and shareholder value.

In his own remarks, Leonetti shared his admiration for Equinix, stating, "Equinix is a company that I have long respected due to the vital role it plays in connecting the world's digital infrastructure. With a remarkable finance organization already in place, I look forward to joining the team as we pursue significant growth opportunities across the business."

As Leonetti steps into this pivotal role, he will take over from Taylor, who has significantly influenced Equinix's financial strategy since joining the firm in 1999. Under Taylor's guidance, the company transitioned from a startup supported by venture capital to a public entity with an annualized revenue exceeding $9 billion. As Taylor prepares for retirement, he will continue to support Equinix in a special advisory capacity for approximately one year, to ensure a seamless transition.

Fox-Martin acknowledged Taylor’s extensive contributions: "Keith has made a tremendous impact on Equinix for nearly three decades, and his leadership has been integral to our success. We extend our gratitude for his countless contributions and look forward to his ongoing support in the year ahead."

Equinix remains a key player in the global digital landscape, enabling organizations to connect and thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. With the transition of leadership in the finance department, the company is well-positioned to continue its trajectory of innovation and growth.

Equinix, Inc. is committed to delivering robust digital infrastructure solutions that foster seamless connectivity across economies, nations, and communities. As the organization embarks on this new chapter under Leonetti's leadership, stakeholders can anticipate an unwavering commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction.

This leadership change represents not only a continuity of Equinix's high standards but also an opportunity to embrace new perspectives that will drive future success in the rapidly changing digital infrastructure market.
