Infinera appoints Brad Feller as senior VP of finance; then CFO from March

Infinera Corp of Sunnyvale, CA, USA, a vertically integrated manufacturer of digital optical network systems incorporating its own indium phosphide-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs), has appointed Brad Feller as senior VP of finance. He joins Infinera after more than five years in senior finance positions at fabless semiconductor company Marvell Technology Group (most recently as interim chief financial officer).

Also, on 1 March, Feller will become Infinera’s CFO, replacing Ita Brennan, who previously announced her resignation effective 28 February. Ms Brennan will continue to direct Infinera’s finance activities as CFO until then.

“Brad’s management experience with large, publicly held technology companies will enable the smooth transition in financial leadership at Infinera and be a valuable asset to us as we continue on a path of solid execution and growth,” says CEO Tom Fallon. “His success in guiding strong financial organizations and processes adds to the depth of our executive leadership team,” he adds.

“The company is well positioned to continue its strong performance in the growing 100G optical upgrade cycle,” comments Feller.

Prior to Marvell, Feller served as corporate controller of Integrated Device Technology and in various roles at Ernst & Young LLP in the high-technology practice serving large multinational clients (which included Intel, Juniper Networks and Oracle). He is a Certified Public Accountant (inactive) in the State of California and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from San Jose State University.
