Laura Coad named one of AFR’s 2025 Women in Leadership

Congratulations to Laura Coad, AirTrunk’s Chief Data Centre Officer, on being named one of The Australian Financial Review’s 2025 Women in Leadership.

Recognised as a leader in the Tech & Telco category, Laura stands out for her bold, people-first leadership at AirTrunk, from championing talent and scaling high-performing teams, to leading complex operational market entries and building the foundations for sustainable growth.

Laura shared with the AFR: “In a fast-paced, high-growth environment like AirTrunk, trying to control every detail isn’t sustainable. I’ve learned to embrace the ‘perfection’ in imperfection – to focus on what matters, trust my team and prioritise progress over polish. Effective leadership is also about making room for diverse voices and perspectives and backing potential.”
