Today, Lightera announced a leadership transition that marks the next phase of our growth. Holly Hulse has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026. She succeeds Foad Shaikhzadeh, who will continue to help guide Lightera’s long-term direction as Chairman. One year after our formal launch within the FURUKAWA ELECTRIC GROUP, our global teams have strengthened how we operate and deliver together. That progress reflects close collaboration across regions, disciplines, and partner ecosystems. Building on the strong foundation established in our first year, Holly will lead Lightera with continued focus on solution-led growth, deep partner engagement, and expansion in high-value segments such as hyperscale data centers. We’re grateful to our global teams and partners for the momentum built during this first year and for the work ahead.
Every day, field teams carry the weight of network expansion. When logistics, communication and priorities don’t align, delays and costs rise, and performance drops. Efficiency begins with people: how they’re organized, trained and connected in real time. Continuous learning, IoT visibility and smart routing allow teams to move faster, with clarity and purpose. With the right management, daily operations become more than maintenance , they become a growth engine for the entire FTTx ecosystem. Ready to unlock that potential? Let’s talk. https://lnkd.in/dxTzqNbV #Lightera #FTTx #Connectivity #Management
