Roshene McCool

I have over 30 years of experience in the telecommunications industry. My career has provided insight into many of the functions that concern FTTH Council Europe members. From manufacturing to network design, from installation to asset management software. I have insight into what it takes to get fibre to the home even in the most rural locations. I was responsible for provisioning fibre to remote radio telescopes across the UK to deliver the national e-MERLIN facility in 2004. I have led many diverse teams to success. This has taught me the value of collaboration and how to galvanise groups around an idea. My style is collaborative and collegial. I think getting things done requires an agreeable manner and a desire to listen and engage with others respectfully and in good faith. I currently work for Corning as their Senior Market and Technology Development Manager with a focus on Access Networks and Single-Mode and Bend Fiber. I was a lead actor in bringing SMF-28 Contour fibre to market.
