Spotlight on First Team Leaders: Charley Thomas

Q&A with Charley Thomas, Director of Solutions Engineering APAC

This week for our spotlight on First Team leaders, meet Charley Thomas, our Director of Solutions Engineering APAC.

Describe your leadership style.

I view my role as removing obstacles for my team and empowering them to focus on delivering lightning-fast solutions to our clients.

What do you love about working at Edgio?

I have been with Edgio for over 14 years and I love that we have never stopped innovating and listening to the needs of the industry. This “never stop learning” attitude keeps things exciting and allows for continuous self-improvement.

What excites you about the future?

I am super excited about the combined mind trust as Limelight and Edgecast have merged to become Edgio. Additionally, expanding our security service offering fills a desperate need in the industry.

Share a fun fact about yourself or something you enjoy doing outside of work.

I moved from the United States to Japan a little over three years ago. I enjoy traveling and cooking foods from all over the world.
