Profile:

Denis GallantProduct Innovation Consultant

Over a 20 year period I had the pleasure

of working with Denis at Newbridge and

Meriton Networks on various new and

evolving products. One of Denis’ keys

to success in product management is his

ability to always combine just the right

amount of creativity and business sense

in order to craft innovative product

plans that meet the existing customer’s

requirements while still allowing for

substantial market growth. Mike Gassewitz

President & CEO, Kindsight

I have known Denis since Mahi Networks

was acquired by Meriton Networks sev-

eral years ago. The thing that impressed

me most about Denis initially was his

professional and balanced approach

during the due diligence process. Post

acquisition, I also came to appreciate

Denis’ breadth of knowledge and ability

to rationalize complex product issues

in a timely and efficient manner while

keeping the respect of the overall team.

It is clear that after 25 years of customer

interactions, Denis understands that

it’s critical to listen to the customer’s

immediate needs but also to anticipate

their future requirements.

President & COO, Mahi Networks

I have known Denis for over 20 years.

His efforts to ensure we had the

right products at the right time were

instrumental in the dramatic growth of

Newbridge Networks in the 1990’s from

a start-up to a $1.5B enterprise. In later

years, I had the pleasure of rejoining

Denis in another successful venture and

again his attention to combining the

right technology with market demand

allowed us to capture several key wins.

Not only is he a critical team player, he is

also a positive and thoughtful influencer

within that team.Mike Pascoe

CEO, Magor Communications

It has been my pleasure to work with

Denis at three innovative technology

companies over the past 25 years (Mitel

Corporation, Newbridge Networks, and

Meriton Networks). During that time,

Denis was always directly engaged in

key projects that utilized the leading

edge technologies to address new and

expanding market segments. Denis has

covered the full innovation cycle from

the concept stage right through to the

customer trials and field deployment.
