Meet Pia Quiroz
Googler, Area Security Manager at Data Centers in Latin America
As an area security manager for Google Data Centers, Pia Quiroz is responsible for the physical security of our operations throughout Latin America, including at our Quilicura, Chile, data center. She loves many aspects of her role. She says, “I feel very lucky to be part of the amazing team that makes sure that the information of all our users, including our own information, is safe and secure [because of our] access to cutting-edge technology.”
Pia also loves that through Google Data Centers, she has had the opportunity to work with people from different countries and cultures. She is also grateful that she has been able to help make a difference in the community. She has participated in programs that have expanded opportunities at local schools, helped plant trees for an urban forest in Santiago, Chile, and led activities for the improvement of housing for the elderly. She reflects on how these projects created opportunities for the region. “People with less access to technology [get to] see and experience what a big tech company can do to improve the lives of many different people.”

In the past few years, I’ve seen how Chile is becoming a globalized country. The data center employs people from different countries, which creates a really nice culture of learning, embracing differences and diversity to complement local knowledge, creating a really rich work environment.
