Nortel Networks Work Values

Daily Duties at Nortel Networks:

Following the Nortel decision to exit the Fixed Wireless Access Business was tasked with the disposal of the business while ensuring that customer commitments and employee morale were maintained; sale was completed to Airspan Networks in 2005, with condition that I be transferred with the company. Created an internal team and developed external OEM relationships that allowed Nortel to put together a successful bid to a major US Telco with a license for the MMDS spectrum in the US. Following the need to deliver a product that better addressed the customer needs for data and capacity enhancements in the narrowband space, led a development team that would later evolve into a global wireless product known as WiMax. Led the team that grew the Wireless Access market share to 38% and number one market position. Assembled a team that worked with a Mexican customer to implement the biggest FWA network in the world, while continuing to provide carrier-­‐grade reliability. Implemented a complete restructuring of the business to maximize profitability and R&D effectiveness by combining product line management and development under the same leadership and moving to variable cost outsourcing, improving margins by a further 6%.

What they like about Nortel Networks:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
