Alcatel-Lucent has announced a new country manager for New Zealand, Jyoti Mahurkar-Thombre replacing Steve Lowe, who has decided to leave the company. The company has been embroiled in problems recently as it was the main supplier of the Telecom New Zealand's problematic WCDMA network which has been suffering a series of serious outages.
Jyoti is taking over the role immediately, and will report to Rajeev Singh-Molares, president of Alcatel-Lucent in the Asia Pacific region. Steve Lowe will remain with the company for the next few weeks during the hand-over, which also coincides with the independent review of its network commissioned by Telecom.
"Jyoti has more than 20 years telecommunications industry experience, and has driven next generation network rollouts for many of the largest and most progressive operators in the Asia Pacific region and around the world," said Rajeev Singh-Molares. "She understands our customer's priorities and we are looking forward to her personal contribution to better serve our customers in New Zealand."
Jyoti was formerly the general manager of Alcatel-Lucent's Next Generation Networks product unit. Prior to this role, Jyoti was vice president of Bell Labs, where she managed projects from initial concept to product release. Jyoti joined the company in 1988 where she held a variety of product management and research and development positions.
