4. Margi Shaw, Nitel

Nitel is buying Hypercore Networks in an acquisition that strengthens Nitel’s international ambitions and brings together two like-minded channel organizations. Nitel and Hypercore have signed an agreement that will bring Hypercore under the Nitel brand. 

Nitel CEO Margi Shaw said the acquisition reflects the aggressive expansion Nitel has embarked on following its private equity investment from Cinven. The carrier is expanding its network-as-a-service and cybersecurity offerings as well as its international capabilities.

Shaw made waves because she says she knows what she wants for Nitel.

“Our goal is to grow the business aggressively to expand our service footprint and product lines,” Shaw told Channel Futures.
