Here's your host, Andy Davis.  \nWelcome to the Inside Data Centre podcast.  \nToday, I'm joined by Charlotte Berry-Selwood and Barbara Sacha. Good afternoon, both of you.  \nBarbara Sacha (0:38-0:39)  \nGood afternoon.  \nAndy Davis (0:40-1:11)  \nWe were just having that conversation. Is it morning or afternoon? It's definitely afternoon, just crossed the midday hour.  \nSo we're in the afternoon in the UK. Thanks for coming on today. Obviously, we're going to talk about a recent initiative and programme that you've established, the Forum for Women in Data Centres, which covers a very important topic.  \nAs a dad of three girls, something that I hopefully can shed light onto my children to help them develop a career such as the one you've both developed. But before we go into that, do you want to give a quick introduction about who you are and what your role is in the industry? If we start with you, Barbara.  \nBarbara Sacha (1:13-3:54)  \nSo my name is Barbara Sacha, and thank you for saying my last name correctly. It's nice. I'm a partner at Cundall.  \nAnd we are an engineering consultancy, and we do multidisciplinary engineering designs for data centres, open access lead  \nconsultant for the clients. And together with a few fellow partners, I'm driving the critical systems sector at Cundall, which is one of  \nthe biggest sectors for our company. I'm a mechanical engineer by background, and I started my career just in building services design.  \nThe first years of my work, I spent in Dubai working on different projects in the Middle East. And probably the common denominator of those projects was that they were all quite large scale, complex jobs acting in very often also lead consultant capacity. And over seven years ago, I moved to the UK.  \nThat's when I started working for Cundall, and that's when I really entered the data centre world for the first time. And I think the thing that let me have a good start in the sector was the large projects experience, because I found myself working straightaway ina very similar environment to what I was used to. And I started building design management team dedicated for critical systems then in Cundall, which since then we've grown, and the whole sector has grown a lot as well.  \nAnd I guess the thing I've enjoyed hugely about data centre sector is the more bigger technical focus compared to other commercial sectors that I have been working with previously. I do enjoy the fact that we as engineers drive the project rather than maybe projects driven by very often either architecture or very different focus of what the actual objective of the project is. And currently, we work with a really nice portfolio of clients in the industry.  \nA lot of the very well-known clients that we have good and close relationships with. And I think the specifics of working in the industry really much relies on partnerships with those clients. We work on frameworks and multiple projects on their programs.  \nSo building those relationships with the clients and having a really nice long-term relationship with them is something I enjoy a lot in the industry.  \nAndy Davis (3:55-3:57)  \nDefinitely. Charlotte, over to you.  \nCharlotte Berry-Selwood (3:58-6:30)  \nI'll follow that now. So, yes. Hi, I'm Charlotte Berry-Selwood.  \nI have been in the sort of data centre space for my entire career, actually. Currently, my role is VP commercial for AVK, who are a power solutions company providing both prime solutions and standby solutions only really into the data centre market. The company's been around 35 year","cbCaiqw4PD44GnMu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqw4PD44GnMu","pdf",150828,9,"English","# Transcript\n## Podcast introduction and hosts\n## Barbara Sacha: career and role in critical systems\n## Charlotte Berry-Selwood: commercial leadership and industry growth\n## Forum for Women in Data Centres initiative","[{\"question\":\"What is the main topic discussed in the podcast transcript?\",\"answer\":\"The podcast focuses on the Forum for Women in Data Centres and why the initiative matters for the sector.\"},{\"question\":\"Who are the guests, and what roles do they hold?\",\"answer\":\"The guests are Barbara Sacha, a partner at Cundall, and Charlotte Berry-Selwood, VP commercial for AVK, both working in data-centre-related industries.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the guests describe their entry into the data centre industry?\",\"answer\":\"Barbara describes moving into UK data-centre work after engineering and large-scale critical systems experience, while Charlotte explains shifting from civil engineering into project management, then into commercial global roles.\"}]","Barbara Sacha & Charlotte Berry-Selwood: Forum for Women in Data Centres | PDF"]
