Executive Advisory Board Formed to Contribute to Telmar's
Global Growth Initiatives
Telmar Network Technology today announced that it has
created an Executive Advisory Board of telecom executives who
will use their years of industry experience to help guide
Telmar's strategic growth initiatives worldwide. The Advisory
Board members have led companies including Alcatel-Lucent,
AT&T, Tellabs and Verizon Communications.
The Telmar Executive Advisory Board is chaired by Lawrence

Pesquidoux, former CFO of Alcatel-Lucent and president of the
Enterprise business; Krish Prabhu, previously CEO of Tellabs
and former COO of Alcatel Telecom; and Stephen G. Welch, who
served as chief procurement officer for SBC Communications (now

"Telmar is truly fortunate to have the unparalleled
experience of such an esteemed group of industry leaders. Their
input will be invaluable as we continue to execute our
worldwide growth strategies," said Steven Pickett, president
and CEO of Telmar. "The Advisory Board will further strengthen
our ability to continually create value for our customers,
investors and employees."
In addition to regularly scheduled meetings with Telmar's
leadership team, the Executive Advisory Board members will
interact frequently with Telmar executives and its customers to
help ensure that the company maintains its leadership position
in the dynamic global communications industry.
"The Executive Advisory Board sees significant potential for
Telmar particularly because it offers a compelling business
