Ashok Kumar

Chief Technology Officer at Brightspeed. Former CTO for Digital channel at Verizon. I have spent my career building systems that have helped shape America’s broadband infrastructure. During early 2000s, I led technology teams that enabled America's first large scale deployment of fiber to the home network - Verizon FiOS. My team created systems that activated the first customer on FiOS in Keller TX in 2004. For the next decade I helped scale FIOS into the most reliable broadband in the country. I am at it again - this time with Brightspeed. At Brightspeed we are building a world class technology team that would transform how network is built, managed, and sold. I enjoy working with teams that are innovating by bringing technology and user experience in a unique way to create solutions never thought possible. My interest span from telecom , real estate tech, home/ business automation and transportation technologies.
