The scoop on Gudmundson


October 31, 2008

Posted by Stephen Hardy

Here is JDSU's official take on Gudmundson's move:

The JDSU Optical Communications and Lasers segments are being combined into one segment called Communications and Commercial Optical Products (CCOP). This combination will enable JDSU to leverage its technology, its manufacturing model and its people to continue to improve profitability. Alan Lowe will assume the role of President of the Communications and Commercial Optical Products segment. David Gudmundson, who has driven the strategy and positive change for Optical Communications, will serve in an advisory role.

Lowe previously headed up the Commercial Lasers business.

More changes at JDSU




Posted by Stephen Hardy

While attention has focused on President and CEO Kevin Kennedy's imminent departure from JDSU, he's not the only example of high-level personnel shuffling at the company.

According to the same October 30 8K filing that details Kennedy's news, Executive Vice President and President, Optical Communications Products Group David Gudmundson stepped down from his position as head of the company's optical comms business to become vice president, senior advisor, optical technologies on October 28.

I've got a query into JDSU to find out more.
