Subsequently acquired by Intel, Rami was a member of DSPC’s executive management team for two years. He then went on to co-found Ensemble Communications, a pioneer in the broadband wireless space and the WiMax standard, also serving as its executive vice president, sales and marketing. Rami later became CEO of Native Networks where he was instrumental in successfully reshaping the company into a market-driven provider of MPLS based solutions to tier-1 telecoms and in orchestrating the company’s ultimate acquisition by Alcatel [ALU:Nasdaq).
