At C-COR, Boymel formulated strategy and account penetration plans, and cultivated relationships with key cable operators such as Time Warner Cable, Comcast, and Cablevision in the lucrative business services market.

Yan is a veteran of the communications and high-tech industries with more than 17 years of experience in executive management, business development, strategy, sales, and marketing roles. In his most recent position, at Corpus, a global IT consulting services firm, he built and launched the company's cable, satellite, media & entertainment business unit. During his tenure as vice president and general manager, Yan focused on bringing emerging fixed-mobile convergence technology expertise to IPTV, MVNOs, cable, satellite, and wireless service providers and content providers.

"David and Will each bring a depth and breadth of experience in high-tech and telecommunications markets that will be valuable assets to our team," said Michael Collette, CEO, Narad Networks. "David's success rate in leading the development of innovative products across global markets and Will's successful track record in launching businesses and growing revenues will help Narad continue to harness new technologies to offer flexible, lower cost and robust bandwidth solutions that leverage MSO's existing infrastructure."
