Kevin J. Kennedy previously served as the CEO of Avaya and JDS Uniphase during key periods of transformation following the bursts of two economic bubbles. At Avaya, Kennedy navigated the company through the epic impact of the Great Recession of 2008 when the company went from a publicly traded entity to private ownership. In the process, Avaya was transformed into a software and services provider, and ultimately survived a debt reorganization and re-listing on the NYSE. During Kennedy's tenure at JDSU, the company tripled in size from its nadir and profitability increased from losing sixty cents of every dollar to producing twenty cents for every dollar of revenue. His earlier career was focused on developing communications equipment as a manager at Bell Laboratories and senior executive at Cisco Systems. Kennedy serves on the boards of KLA Tencor (Nasdaq), Digital Realty Trust (NYSE), Quanergy Systems (a privately held LIDAR company), and Sherpa Digital Media (a privately held video streaming company). In addition to these corporate responsibilities, Kennedy continues as an Appointee to the President’s National Security Technology Advisory Committee (NSTAC). Kevin J. Kennedy is the author of The Devil in the Details and co-author of Going the Distance. He is the proud father of two adult children and grandfather to three under five.
