Reed Hundt has joined the Infinera board of directors.
Mr. Hundt brings three decades of legal, government, and communications industry experience to Infinera. As chairman of the Federal Communications Commission from 1993 to 1997, Mr. Hundt was a leading force for government innovation at this critical time for the industry. FCC milestones under Mr. Hundt's leadership included the first spectrum auction in U.S. history, the U.S. government effort to network every classroom and library in the U.S., the first FCC website, and a major reorganization of the FCC to better adapt it to the Internet age.
Mr. Hundt is a principal of Charles Ross Partners, a private investor and business advisory service, and an independent adviser to both McKinsey and Company, Inc. and the Blackstone Group. He also serves as a director of the Intel Corporation, and is the author of two books. His most recent book, "In China's Shadow," was published last October by the Yale University Press.
"I'm delighted to join the great board of this fine company," commented Reed Hundt. "Infinera is focused on bringing to market innovations that can become increasingly valuable to the world's telecom networks."
"I'm thrilled to welcome Reed to the Infinera board," said Infinera CEO Jagdeep Singh. "His strong understanding of the communications industry and deep experience in government and regulatory issues will be invaluable as we execute our mission to build a great company in the communications business."
