JDSU, a telecom test and measurement vendor, has hired Cisco executive Paul McNab as CMO and chief strategy officer.

McNab will be responsible for corporate marketing, strategy and business development and will be reporting to Tom Waechter, JDSU President and CEO.

McNab will continue to serve in this role for the new NSE company following the planned spin-off of the CCOP company announced by JDSU yesterday.

He worked with public and private data center operators and spearheaded strategic initiatives and product roadmaps for next-generation network architectures, including software-defined networking.

He also led the enterprise marketing organization, with an associated $25 billion product portfolio, and built and managed an architecture team that delivered cross-portfolio solutions for the service provider and enterprise markets.

McNab recently founded a start-up that developed a software-based network solution, managed as portable code, for public and private cloud providers and enterprise customers.
