Breeze 67, just to be factual and not mislead newbies, Rich Zoccolillo did NOT leave Infinera to come directly to PoET. He left Infinera almost a year ago. November '17 if memory serves me.
That's not to say he isn't thrilled to be a PoET, it's just that it wasn't a from there to here jump.
-----------------
How do we know he wasn't consulting for POET during at least part of his post-Infinera time, and got a good kick of the tires while at it? I don't think POET ever names any names when it accounts for consulting expenses...
