Description

What happens when a social media obsession evolves into one of the most unconventional and impactful roles in B2B tech?

In this episode of Uplink, we sit down with Alexis Bertholf, Megaport’s Global Technical Evangelist, whose mission is to make network engineering cool again.

Alexis shares her journey from Cisco to creating a role with no blueprint, her belief that networking is “the oxygen of technology,” and why community building matters more than ever in the AI and cloud era. She also reveals Megaport’s upcoming virtual summit designed to educate and connect engineers, executives, and newcomers alike – without the sales pitch.

🚀 Uplink explores the future of connectivity, cloud, and AI with the people shaping it. Hosted by Michael Reid.
