Top SchoolChris Lauwers is a technology visionary and CEO with deep expertise in turning networking and telecommunications into software-driven, autonomic systems that simplify the cloud through orchestration, SDN, and NFV. With a PhD from Stanford and over a decade leading Ubicity, he focuses on dramatic OPEX reduction for service providers by automating performance management of voice and video at every layer of the cloud stack. He pioneered early shared-window and web conferencing technologies and holds 91 patents spanning presence-based interactions, desktop video, and multimedia collaboration, translating research prototypes into globally scaled deployments. Versatile as an executive, he has run engineering, product, strategy, business development, and support, and currently co-chairs the OASIS TOSCA technical committee to shape cloud orchestration standards.
