CommScope appoints new senior leadership for Venue and Campus Networks

Markus Ogurekas, senior vice president and sector leader of Venue and Campus Networks, was introduced by CommScope, a global pioneer in network connectivity.

Mr. Ogurek, who comes to CommScope from Cisco, is a seasoned executive with a proven track record of success at multibillion-dollar companies such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise and iov42. He will be in charge of a global team of over 2,000 people that work in sales, product development, and supply chain operations. Mr. Ogurek will be in charge of CommScope’s networking, indoor cellular, and security products and applications, which will be aligned with the company’s CommScope NEXT strategic transformation program.

Chuck Treadway, president and chief executive officer, stated, “Markus brings a wealth of enterprise technology and networking expertise to CommScope’s largest and fastest-growing segment with an addressable market of $23 billion.  In his previous roles at Cisco and Hewlett Packard, Markus was responsible for accelerating revenue and developing cloud, software, and services strategies across vertical markets.  His international experience and proven track record make him well positioned to lead a business focused on the accelerated adoption of faster, secure Networks and ubiquitous connectivity.”

Mr. Ogurek’s prior role at Cisco as vice president of Enterprise was responsible for driving subscription and software-as-a-service sales across vertical markets, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in additional portfolio income.

 “The roles of communication networks are more critical than ever as people transform the way they connect and communicate,” said Mr. Ogurek.

He added, “My role is to ensure CommScope is aligned to what our customers need today and well into the future as they face an exponential increase in the demand for data, an emerging recognition that secure networks are a priority and a continuing evolution in network architecture.”

Mr. Ogurek’s base of operations will be in Sunnyvale, California.
