“5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Became CEO of Pluribus Networks,” With Kumar Srikantan

Ensure you have a trusted advisor: Whether it’s a founder, an investor or a board member, you need someone in a leadership position who you trust and can lean on to get a grounded view of the company.

As part of my series of interviews with influential business leaders, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kumar Srikantan. Kumar Srikantan is President and Chief Executive Officer of Pluribus Networks. Previously, Kumar was VP/GM of HW Engineering for the Enterprise Networking Business at Cisco where he was responsible for the HW engineering execution of Cisco’s Enterprise Networking portfolio.
