Everyone plays a role: Thy's story

Leading a team of 60 people in Iron Mountain’s Digital Business Unit gives Thy Toeung much to be proud of.

As a Regional Specialist, he makes sure that the work to help businesses transition the things they value to a digital space goes smoothly, protecting the security of important documents. But the impact of his team’s work stretches far beyond the transition of digitizing imperative information that needs to be kept safe.

“Transitioning from paper to digital isn’t just smart for our customers, it’s smart for the planet,” Thy says. “Because of global warming, we have to think of how that changes how our world functions. Creating those digital copies helps to reduce paper waste, and the carbon footprint.”

Watching the impact climate change has had on the frequencies of natural disasters, he knows his team plays a part in the resiliency of businesses he works with as well. “Being ready for those natural disasters from a business standpoint ensures they continue to operate,” Thy says. “Transitioning to digital means that data is still safe and still can help our business move forward.“
