Subject: Leaving Verizon to Begin a New Chapter
Dear IEEE Colleagues,
With over 36 years behind me, I have decided to take the opportunity to leave Verizon. My last day will be Friday, December 29. It has been an incredible journey, and I have been fortunate to have worked with you over the years.
There have been many monumental changes in telecom during the span of my career. I was lucky to have played a key role in many industry firsts, including initial fiber optic implementation in access networks, developing SONET/SDH/OTN national and international standards, leading GPON/NGPON2 specification and development, and deploying the first NGPON2 systems.
It has been a pleasure and honor working with you and I want to thank you for your friendship and support. I wish each of you much success as you continue to drive cutting edge technology and build future networks. I will be keeping an eye on telecom and remain engaged through consulting and other activities. Please stay in touch via my personal gmail below.
Lisa and I are now looking forward to the next chapter in our lives. Best wishes to you and your families this Holiday Season and have a Happy New Year!
Sincerely, Martin
Sr. Manager – Network Infrastructure Planning
Verizon
