Mr. Ewert is an accomplished technology executive, with a 20-plus year history as a transformational champion of network programmability and control.

"The opportunity we have at LightRiver to lead the next wave of innovation and network transformation is tremendous, and I am thrilled to join the team," comments Mr. Ewert. "With netFLEX already deployed for SDN Optical Domain Control in Tier 1 Wireline and Wireless carriers, Global Datacenter and Exchange Providers, Global Cloud/FANG, investor-owned Utility Operators, along with our unique relationships with leading packet optical vendors, we are well positioned. With these relationships in place and the netFLEX platform, we will lead the charge for Customer and Digital Experience advancements for network automation and programmable networking."
"Travis' experience and passion for software defined networks, and deep understanding of the positive impact it can make on customer operations, fit perfectly into LightRiver's long term strategy to de-risk the adoption of best-in-class, next generation networks as our customers move into new technologies and network domains under the coming wave of disaggregation," states
