Ron Schmidt, technical co-founder of SynOptics/Bay Networks, is new President of Lucent WEST in Silicon Valley. Ron is hiring all top remaining talent away from NORTEL/BAY who were loyal to Ron. Caution to COMS, NT, Cisco, Ciena, Juniper, NN, Alcatel, Siemens, NET, Ericsson, NEC, Nokia. Ron is building a innovation army of dedicated LU West scientists who can think New World and market like SynOptics did; along the way filing barrier patents to cover their rear. Ron was on board of directors at VitalSigns (Sequioa Venture) which INS (the famed Cisco integrator) just bought. Ron was Senior CTO at Xerox PARC Labs before SynOptics. Ron has been a pioneer in Photonics since 1984 published paper on Optical Switching. Why is Mr. Schmidt still working? Cuz he is a mad scientist playing in a wonderful sandbox called Bell Labs with all it's resources at his disposal.
