Martin,
While I am sad to see you leave my circle of industry participation – I am happy for you being able to leave on your terms – which is the ultimate success in my opinion. I wish you and your family all the best. Thank you for all of your help and advice over the years in taking Ethernet from 10G to 400G.
Happy Holidays!
John

Subject: [802.3_NGEPON] Leaving Verizon to Begin a New Chapter
Dear IEEE Colleagues,
With over 36 years behind me, I have decided to take the opportunity to leave Verizon. My last day will be Friday, December 29. It has been an incredible journey, and I have been fortunate to have worked with you over the years.
There have been many monumental changes in telecom during the span of my career. I was lucky to have played a key role in many industry firsts, including initial fiber optic implementation in access networks, developing SONET/SDH/OTN national and international standards, leading GPON/NGPON2 specification and development, and deploying the first NGPON2 systems.
It has been a pleasure and honor working with you and I want to thank you for your friendship and support. I wish each of you much success as you continue to drive cutting edge technology and build future networks. I will be keeping an eye on telecom and remain engaged through consulting and other activities. Please stay in touch via my personal gmail below.
Lisa and I are now looking forward to the next chapter in our lives. Best wishes to you and your families this Holiday Season and have a Happy New Year!
Sincerely, Martin
Sr. Manager – Network Infrastructure Planning
Verizon
