Meet Vertiv’s Faraz Ali

A Vertiv Journey

Starting out as a graduate and progressing into a Product Manager role, Faraz Ali shares his journey at Vertiv, shaped by both the fast pace of the industry and the opportunities along the way. With experience spanning technical and commercial roles, it’s a story of continuous learning, growth, and adapting as the industry continues to evolve.

1. You started your career at Vertiv as a graduate and are still with the company today. What’s kept you here, and how has the journey shaped you?

   Starting at Vertiv as a graduate and continuing the journey through to today has been driven by both the direction of the company and the opportunities along the way. Working in a space defined by rapid advancements in big data and AI has been particularly exciting, while the support of strong local, regional and global teams has played a big part in that longevity. The ability to grow within the organisation, both technically and from a sales perspective, has also been a key factor in shaping my career path.

2. You’ve worn a few different hats along the way. Which role taught you the most, and why?

   Each role has added something valuable, but the graduate rotation was the most impactful, providing broad exposure across project management, operations, supply chain, product and sales. Moving into sales then built strong skills in account management and customer relationships, while product management has brought everything together, combining both technical and commercial expertise.

3. What products do you look after, and what does a typical day look like for you?

   The current portfolio spans rack-based solutions, including UPS, thermal management, racks, rack PDUs, IT management and broader IT solutions. Day-to-day work is varied, with a mix of responding to customer and sales queries, supporting the field with technical expertise, preparing presentations and joining customer calls. Site visits also form a key part of the role, helping to stay close to real-world applications and customer needs.

4. You work closely with channel partners, what do you enjoy most about that collaboration?

   Working with channel partners is particularly rewarding, especially when there is a strong, open and personable relationship in place. The ability to collaborate closely, share ideas and work through challenges together ultimately leads to better outcomes for customers and stronger long-term partnerships.

   ---

5. Looking ahead, what excites you most about the future of your product portfolio and opportunities with partners?

   The pace of change in areas like big data, AI and high-performance computing makes this a particularly exciting time. Aligning with the industry as it evolves presents a significant opportunity, not just for innovation, but to help create more efficient and productive outcomes for customers. Working alongside partners to bring those solutions to life is a big part of that.

   ---

6. Outside of work, how do you like to switch off?

   Outside of work, I like to switch off by listening to podcasts and watching YouTube, often on more technical or niche topics. There’s also the occasional TikTok scroll, balanced with time at the gym to stay active.

Vertiv™ Live ANZ Showcases the Future of AI Infrastructure for Channel Partners

Vertiv™ recently concluded the first round of its Vertiv Live roadshow in Australia, bringing together partners and customers across Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane to explore how AI is reshaping edge data centre infrastructure and what this means for the channel.

A key takeaway was the rapid increase in compute demand, with AI workloads driving rack densities beyond 30kW. This shift is pushing traditional infrastructure to its limits and accelerating the need for more advanced power and cooling strategies, including hybrid solutions that incorporate liquid cooling.

For partners, this represents a significant opportunity. As environments become more complex, customers are increasingly looking for trusted advisors to help assess, design and deploy solutions that support AI workloads today while scaling for the future.

The roadshow also highlighted Vertiv™ 360AI framework, demonstrating how an end-to-end approach, spanning power, cooling, IT and services, can simplify deployment and improve performance.

Ultimately, the shift to AI is not just a technology change, but a transformation in how solutions are delivered. Partners who can bring together integrated power, cooling and monitoring solutions and lifecycle expertise will be best positioned to support customers and capture growth in this rapidly evolving space.

Vertiv™ Live will continue its Australia roadshow with upcoming events in Melbourne and Sydney in September. If you are interested in attending, please make sure you register early to secure your place.
