Ciena® Corporation (NYSE: CIEN), a networking systems, services,
and software company, today announced the promotion of Dino DiPerna
and Brodie Gage to its Executive Leadership Team, reporting to
President and CEO Gary Smith. The leadership appointments are
designed to support Ciena’s continued growth through market
leadership in optical technologies, increasing opportunities in
IP/Optical convergence, and addressable market expansion in
next-generation metro and edge applications.
DiPerna becomes Ciena’s Senior Vice President of Global Research
& Development (R&D). In this role, he will direct the
development of the company’s portfolio of Converged Packet Optical,
Network Control and Planning, and Routing and Switching products
and solutions. DiPerna most recently served as Ciena’s Vice
President of R&D for the company’s optical product portfolio,
which includes the industry-leading WaveLogic™ coherent technology.
He joined Ciena in 2010 through its acquisition of Nortel’s optical
business, where he held senior engineering roles for more than two
decades. DiPerna has a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
from McGill University.
Gage becomes Ciena’s Senior Vice President of Global Products
and Supply Chain. He will oversee several critical functions,
including Product Line Management, Global Supply Chain, and
Solutions, Engineering, and Introduction (SE&I). Gage most
recently served as Ciena’s Vice President of Product Line
Management and Solutions since also joining the company in 2010. He
previously held global leadership roles across engineering,
marketing, business development, and product line management at
Nortel. Gage earned a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering
from McGill University.
After 38 years in operational leadership roles at Nortel and
Ciena, most recently as Senior Vice President of Ciena’s Global
Products & Services organization, Scott McFeely has decided to
transition to an advisory role on the company’s Executive
Leadership Team, continuing to report to Gary Smith.
“These appointments are another testament to our strong
succession planning and depth of talent. With vast industry and
institutional knowledge as well as deep relationships across the
business and with our customers, Dino and Brodie will bring strong
insights to our leadership team as we continue to drive growth
across our business,” said Gary Smith, president and CEO of Ciena.
“We also look forward to Scott’s contributions in his new role
across various operational initiatives as well as through his
continuing relationships with the investment community.”

effective October 27, 2023.
