I have written about Vikram Saksena in the past - and as CTO of Sonus, I have had the chance to speak with him a few times and have always been impressed at how he has been able to discuss the intricacies of providing advanced communications services in a straightforward manner. This is one of the reasons I invited Saksena to keynote the latest ITEXPO - where he did a great job.
Saksena is moving on to Tellabs and I wish him well. The question is how will Sonus replace him and will this high level departure increase pressure on the company at a time where other execs have recently departed as well.
