Guavus Names New CEO, Gears Up for Expansion

Telecoms sector big data specialist Guavus has appointed Manish Goel as Chief Executive Officer, replacing Anukool Lakhina who will now help the company expand into additional markets.

Founded in 2006 and based in San Mateo, CA, Guavus focuses on helping telecoms companies make sense of their streams of network data. Its solutions include the Guavus Reflex platform, which displays insights through graphical dashboards, and allows users to output data into a PDF, XML or CSV file format for further analysis on other platforms.

So far this year, the firm has raised $39m in two waves of funding, which it is using to expand its core products, scale its operations and pursue 'select' acquisitions.

Goel (pictured) joins after eleven years at data management solutions firm NetApp, latterly as VP of Product Operations, in charge of all product technology strategy and delivery. Earlier in his career, he held senior positions at Copper Mountain Networks, Cadence and McKinsey.

Lakhina comments on the appointment: 'Manish' expertise is key as we look to capitalize on our significant momentum and take the company to the next level in terms of revenue, global expansion, and customer satisfaction. I look forward to working him and the other company leaders as we begin a new chapter in Guavus' history.'
