Florence Lavroff
My journey in the Internet industry and networking started in 2005 at Cable and Wireless in a technical support and NOC environment.
From 2009, I specialised in Content Delivery whilst having the privilege to work for companies, such as Akamai and Google, which made the Internet as it is today.
In my current position as a Peering Manager at Google, I deal with content delivery optimisation, develop strategic partnerships, and negotiate peering agreements with ISPs and Internet Exchanges of my region of expertise, i.e EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa).
As a firm believer of the impact of community work and mentoring, I have been part of the RIPE community since 2010 and Co-chair of the Connect Working Group since 2014.
