Five minutes with Markus Nispel, CTO EMEA, Extreme Networks

As someone who has worked in the telecommunications and networking industry for more than 25 years, I have watched firsthand how the industry and technology have evolved, how customers have benefited from these changes, how vendors disrupt and get disrupted, and, most recently, how digital transformation in businesses has taken off.

In my current position as CTO of EMEA at Extreme Networks, a strategic growth region and innovation engine, I oversee the incubator at the Office of the CTO and direct the thought-leadership initiatives of the global office of the CTO.

The incubator’s mission is to respond to inflections in the market, technology, and society by accelerating initiatives from ideation to prototype and MVP.
