Akanksha Kapoor, Manager of Growth Account Management, stands as a great example of how DigitalOcean values come to life. She has been with DO for five years. In this spotlight, she shares how she’s grown her career at DO, customer-first culture, and the collaborative environment that make DigitalOcean unique.

What makes DigitalOcean the right place for you?

“DigitalOcean opened doors for me with endless opportunities and support. Over the years, I’ve developed not just as a professional but as a person. What I value most here are the people, they’re smart, humane, and genuinely awesome.”

How does customer-centricity shape life at DO?

“At DigitalOcean, the customer is at the core of everything we do. Their needs guide our priorities, and their feedback drives new products and features. As part of Customer Success, this means striving to deliver a world-class experience while embracing the chance for me and my team to learn and live by these values every day.”

How would you describe the pace of innovation at DO?

“The word ‘fast’ doesn’t even do it justice, it’s more like lightspeed. Customers ask for something, and within a quarter or two, sometimes even just weeks, it’s brought to life. The ability to innovate at this pace is truly exciting.”

What words best capture DO’s culture?

“I’d describe our culture as strong in values, work ethic, and character. We take pride in what we do and want our customers to feel the same pride in using DigitalOcean. I choose these words because I live this culture every day, and I’m fortunate to be able to coach my team through it as well.”

How would you describe DO’s style of working?

“Collaboration here is fun, authentic, and thorough. The “open door policy” isn’t just a phrase, it’s real. Leaders are approachable, and people ask for and offer help freely. Concerns are voiced openly and addressed thoughtfully. What I appreciate most is how guidance is shared generously and how much that openness is respected, valued, and celebrated across the company.”
