The NetFusion App Suite furthers this converged solution with optimization and automation apps that improve network resiliency and efficiency. Casey has over 25 years of experience in the wireless and wireline networking industries. Before Sedona, he was Spider Cloud Wireless Inc.'s senior vice president of global sales, helping the company to expand sales to Tier 1 mobile operators. Previously, Casey served as Vice President of Sales at Flarion Technologies, where he led the North American sales efforts with Sprint (News - Alert) and other US carriers. Casey graduated with a BA from Brigham Young University. Shat has 20 years of experience selling to carriers, Internetservice providers, data centers and enterprises with Tellabs and Coriant after its acquisition of Tellabs.

During his time working at Tellabs/Coriant, Shat grew his career through a variety of sales leadership positions. He graduated from University of Maryland with a BS in mechanical engineering.
