A leadership change, an NaaS partnership, some 400G, and some interesting fiber M&A activity:
LightRiver has itself a newly minted CEO, and it’s a very familiar face. The network integration solution provider has promoted Mike Jonas to take over from founder and longtime leader Glenn Johansen, who will be retiring. Mike Jonas has been President of Customer Operations for a decade and one of the most visible evangelists for the company on the conference circuit. LightRiver is backed by Grain Management and handles the design and buildout of fiber and the equipment lighting it behind the scenes for many network operators.
