FTE Networks (OTCQX: FTNW) this morning said it has formed a strategic advisory board to provide senior counsel as it identifies and executes opportunities to advance the deployment of its disruptive multi-edge computing services. A leading network infrastructure company for Fortune 500 companies, FTE Network is filling this advisory board with a powerful caliber of experienced professionals.
“The establishment of our Strategic Advisory Board represents our commitment to build on the company’s recent momentum and pursue smart, strategic growth opportunities,” Michael Palleschi, FTE Networks’ chairman of the board and CEO, stated in the news release. “Each member brings extensive cloud and open compute expertise, and will be a tremendous asset as we develop our next generation business of data center and multi-edge computing services.”
Initial members of the Multi-Edge Computing Strategic Advisory Board include John Morgan, a 25-year veteran in the communications and IT industries. Morgan currently works with operators to improve network coverage and capacity through the adoption of open source hardware and software. He previously worked for Accenture (NYSE: ACN), where he was global technical lead for legacy network migrations, working with operators on product rationalization and simplification, copper to fiber migration platform implementations, and decommissioning strategies for copper and central office equipment. Prior to Accenture, Morgan held executive positions with several software start-up firms in the communications industry, as well as with leading operators such as Verizon (NYSE: VZ), Level 3 Communications (NASDAQ: LVLT), and Genuity. His background includes various roles in network planning and engineering, product management, OSS/BSS development, finance and operations.
