Summary
Ed Day is a seasoned software entrepreneur and CEO with over 21 years leading Objective Systems, Inc., where he architects and develops standards-driven data communications tools, notably the ASN1C ASN.1 compiler. He combines deep protocol expertise across ITU-T, IETF, and 3GPP with hands-on implementation of ASN.1/XML and network security applications for telephony and communications systems. Earlier in his career he delivered large-scale UNIX network management and CORBA-based middleware monitoring for enterprises like MCI and First USA, proving his ability to move complex standards into production. Holding a BSEE in digital systems design and an MBA, he blends rigorous engineering with business strategy to evolve product roadmaps and sustain long-term technical stewardship.
