Dallas Business Journal Names Fujitsu's Utility Expert, John Chowdhury, a "Who's Who in Energy" for Second Consecutive Year


Fujitsu, a leading provider of business, information technology, and communications solutions, announced today that the Dallas Business Journal (DBJ) named John Chowdhury, Utility Practice Director, Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc., to its annual "Who's Who in Energy" list for the second year in a row. Editors describe those who made the list as "...the movers and shakers in the ever-changing, fast-moving energy industry...."

"To be honored by the Dallas Business Journal again this year as part of a professional community dedicated to building customer-centric utilities is very gratifying," said Chowdhury. "Modernizing utilities' networks improves reliability of the distribution system, increases customer satisfaction and lowers both opex and capex. Everyone benefits, from those generating the energy, to the retailers and the end-users themselves."

Chowdhury works with North American energy companies on modernization programs that provide a roadmap to converged network operations. This convergence helps utilities meet new demands for scalability, reliability, securityand standards compliance. His business and technology experience is sought-out by utilities looking for guidance in the areas of Smart Grid/AMI/distribution automation, business case development, customer relationship management, billing and telecommunications/wireless networks.



Along with his professional role at Fujitsu (News - Alert), Chowdhury actively works to advance the utilities sector in a number of other ways. He is known for co-founding the Center for Utility Innovation (http://www.smarterutility.com) with the White House Office of the CTO. He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Communications Society and serves as a Board member of Utilities Smart Network Council. In addition, Chowdhury is an Advisor to the NRECA Technology Innovation Board and also to the University of Tulsa's Masters of Energy Program.
