# Subex Appoints New CTO

Indian RAFM vendor Subex has recruited Suresh Chintada (pictured), formerly a Senior Director at network infrastructure provider CommScope, to be their new Chief Technology Officer. Subex describe Chintada as somebody who has…

> …built and scaled large global software engineering, professional services and technical support services operations, serving industry verticals like cable, telecom, mobile and wireless networking.

Chintada’s appointment fits a pattern where Subex seeks to reinvent themselves and reduce their dependency on revenues from CDR-based analytics. This was reinforced by a press release from the firm, which quoted CEO Vinod Kumar as saying:

> …the industry is undergoing massive transformations and advancements, requiring solutions vendors to come up with differentiated offering that are technologically ground-breaking. With over two decades of experience, Suresh has a deep understanding of creating product strategies geared towards accelerating growth, both from an organizational and customer-led viewpoint. We are confident that Suresh will augment and scale the technical leadership at Subex and strengthen our offerings towards being the front-runner of enabling Digital Trust \[sic\].

Chintada spent over five years overseeing software engineering at ARRIS, and remained with the telecoms equipment manufacturer when it was acquired by CommScope in a 2018 deal worth USD7.4bn. Before ARRIS, Chintada worked at Motorola for almost a decade.
