Virtuous Circle of Generosity!

Hi! Have you met Vijay?

He was responsible for ensuring the infrastructure was fully functioning for one of the major global investment banks. A vital role for any large organisation, but not one that is often front and centre of a business. It is so fundamental to the business, that you only hear of someone like Vijay when something goes wrong. As well as the smooth running, he had the added responsibility of some of the highest security requirements to manage.

Now he has stepped into the limelight by taking on the role of VP of Operations for EMEA at Digital Realty, the world’s leading provider of data centre and colocation solutions. He now extends his extensive expertise by helping many more companies understand their unique needs and providing client-driven, secure, reliable and cost effective data center and colocation solutions. He should know, working for a bank, these are the must have requirements, not the nice to have optional extras.

Vijay Mistry – VP of Operations, EMEA at Digital Realty

Vijay is quite a private person, he loves meeting amazing, interesting people, but you won’t find him holding court at countless networking events. He has a great network of people he knows and trusts, having cultivated relationships with a distinct group of people over his career. He truly understands the real meaning of networking and how helping people is the basis of that. Because of that, he has a large number of people who support him and help *him*. Chances are, he knows someone you know, and if you get the chance, I would ask for an introduction through one of your mutual contacts.

I don’t think he will mind me saying, having spoken to him recently, he really saw the huge benefit that meeting new people recommended by his already extensive network provides. He didn’t waste lots of time trying to meet the right people at a myriad of events, he spoke to the people he trusted and explained how he could help as well as the challenges he faced. They in turn introduced him to the right people he could help and who could help him. In,  what seems as, no time he had helped the right people and he had a solution to his challenge!

If you are lucky enough to meet him, you will be regaled with great anecdotes and funny stories. If you know him, you know how great his offer of help is and graciously, he will accept your help. The virtuous circle of generosity!
