Joel Hackney, who headed up Nortel’s enterprise business before it was acquired by Avaya, will join Avaya as Senior Vice President and President, Avaya Government Solutions & Data.
“In this new role, Joel will lead the strategically important combined Avaya and Nortel government-focused organizations serving the U.S. Federal Government market post-closing. He will also provide the strategic and operational leadership required to integrate Nortel’s data business with Avaya’s long-term vision and goals.”
During the reign at Nortel, Hackey was probably best known for a road rage incident at a parking lot following a basketball game.
Seems official now. Went to Avaya's website, under “Corporate Overview” they have a pdf dated 18 December with the fruitcake Stranglers name and title right there in b & w. Let me see if I can copy the link here before I go overdose on Alka-Seltzer as my stomach is turning. Page two, dare I say it:Senior “Leadership”.
