After an amazing two and half years at Juniper Networks, I am going back to Google as the VP and Head of Global Networking. I am really proud of what team Juniper has achieved in the last few years: Gartner leadership quadrant for datacenter, leadership in Telco NFVi with #Contrail, first to deliver 400G in the industry, launch of Contrail Enterprise Multicloud, launch of a complete #sdbranch portfolio, acquisition of Mist, launch of JunOS evolved with SONiC, and massive progress in the Aurrion Silicon Photonics program...the list is long.
Juniper has absolutely amazing technologies, and more importantly, a world class team.
Leaving all of this goodness behind was not an easy call but building out hyperscale infrastructure has been my true calling. So I am going back to my roots. Juniper is in great hands with Raj Yavatkar taking over as the CTO. Raj brings in decades of experience in networking to accelerate the transformation that Juniper has embarked upon. Congratulations Raj!
Last but not the least, Rami Rahim has been a phenomenal leader at the helm of Juniper’s transformation. He has shown incredible trust in me throughout my tenure here, and I am truly thankful for that.
So..exploring what's #beyondhyperscale of networking is my next adventure. Hit me up with ideas!
