Share via

Accelerated Networks in Moorpark has hired Pete Patel as vice president of operations.

Patel comes to Accelerated from Advanced Fibre Communications, where he led the operations team as the company increased revenues from $10 million to $300 million. Before that, Patel spent seven years at Optilink Corp., which was ultimately acquired by DSC Communications. During that time, Optilink grew from a start-up to a company with $400 million in revenues.

“The addition of Pete rounds out the executive team,” said Suresh Nihalani, Accelerated Networks president and chief executive officer.

“As we enter into volume production, the timing is excellent for Pete to lead the operations organization into the next step of growth and maintain focus on quality manufacturing processes.”
