  • Ericsson
    Vice President, Head Of Product Area Cloud Infrastructure
    Ericsson Jan 2014 - Jun 2017
    Kista, Stockholm, Se
    Owner for the Ericsson Cloud business. Based on the initial work I did in corporate strategy, we assembled a portfolio including datacenters/DCIM, hardware, platforms (applications and data), data and storage and infrastructure security and elevated "Cloud" to a top-level business P&L in the company (a "Product Area"). We define “cloud” as highly accessible, industrialized infrastructure. It is what traditional infrastructure is not. It is infrastructure as it’s own practice. Being highly accessible has consequences to all non-functional aspects: automation, governance, tenancy, utilization, predictability, security, maintainability et al. Being industrialized means the introduction of supply chain thinking where there are continuous improvements in technologies, output and unit economics all within the same operational model.Our products include NFVi, SDN, HDS8000, BSP8100 and others.The HDS8000 was the world's first hyperscale, disaggregated system where all components where natively available over a common single-mode optical interconnect. It won multiple industry and design awards.At MWC 2017, we took it one step further and demonstrated alternative form factors that are entirely assembled and serviced by robotics in the datacenter.Starting the cloud effort required touching our approaches to design, development, partnering, sourcing, supply, manufacturing, assembly, distribution, warranty/claims handling, contracts, support, commercial models, consumption experience, positioning, marketing and differences in our customer's buying and decision processes. In three years, we [1] went from #6 to #1 in customer perception for NFVi[2] launched the world's first hyperscale, rackscale system (HDS8000)[3] went from 0 to nearly 300 BSP8100 customers[4] started the transformation process to virtualization a 100+ networks[5] established a comprehensive set of partnerships and mapped our position in the ecosystem.

    Chief Editor And Principal
    Sciedit.Com Aug 1998 - Dec 2003
    While in graduate school, I ran a company that wrote, edited and did strategic planning around the output of grant-funded science: published papers. I typically did one or two manuscripts a week, and over five years, edited nearly 400 manuscripts (~1 per week) and had a 98% publication rate. Largely fueled by an very international base in the San Diego area and then via recommendations, it was a tremendous experience and I was lucky to have done it. Typically the experience of having reviewed, edited and written hundreds of published papers is what you do over an entire career.
