He heads a team dedicated to serving multinational companies and governments with cloud networking, voice, and security services to support digital transformation and growth.

As users, we’ve adapted to the pace of digital technology but as a CEO, I know it seems harder than ever to keep up, let alone get out in front. You need your infrastructure to perform in a way that’s perfectly predictable – secure, global and always-on.
