Dispersive Networks, a leading provider of programmable networking for
mission-critical solutions, announced today the appointment of Christopher Swan

The appointment marks a new phase of growth for Dispersive Networks as it
addresses increasing demand for its ultra-secure, ultra-reliable and
high-performing software-defined products for mission-critical verticals
including power, finance, government, transportation, healthcare and others
where traditional SD-WAN is inadequate. In his role, Swan will lead
market-facing teams as they position Dispersive's solution for global adoption.
Swan is a transformational leader with a track record of building and leading
businesses to market and exits worth over $2 billion. Most recently, Swan was
general manager at ADVA's Ensemble division driving market adoption of

Harmony Ecosystem, which hosts one of the most extensive NFV libraries in the
industry.
"Dispersive's ultra-secure programmable networking is gaining widespread
adoption in the service provider, enterprise and mission-critical markets,"
said Edward Wood, President and CEO of Dispersive Networks. "Chris's high
energy and experience will help us accelerate growth in these markets while
also extending our footprint into IoT and 5G."
Prior to ADVA, Swan leveraged his skills in sales, marketing and services in
executive positions across networking, cyber security, fulfillment and service
assurance companies including Overture Networks, The Boeing Company, Narus,
Spirent, and Verizon. Swan holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and
Finance from Virginia Tech.
"Dispersive's unique split-session, multipath networking techniques provide the
most secure approach for wide area networks and IoT communication," said Swan.
