NetSpeek has announced the appointment of Mary McDowell to its board of directors.
McDowell brings more than three decades of executive leadership in enterprise technology, communications, and software. She previously served as CEO of Polycom, leading the company through a major strategic transformation and its acquisition by Plantronics, and later as president, CEO, and board director of Mitel Networks, where she guided the company through a period of significant market change and transformation.
Erik DeGiorgi, founder and CEO of NetSpeek, said: “Mary has spent her career building and growing enterprise technology businesses. She understands both the technology powering today's workplaces and the day-to-day operational challenges organisations are up against. As AI changes how enterprise operations work, her experience building and leading category-defining companies is going to be a real asset as we execute on our vision.”
Mary McDowell said: “Enterprise collaboration technology is critical to how organizations get things done but ensuring that the technology is fully operational can be quite complex. By applying AI to operational management, NetSpeek’s genuinely new approach helps organizations improve reliability, reduce operational complexity, and ensure that technology investments deliver promised results. I'm looking forward to joining the Board and helping guide the company's next stage of growth.”
The appointment reinforces NetSpeek’s continued momentum as the company expands its AI-native platform and broadens support across enterprise collaboration, networking, and workplace technologies.
