Former Dallas-Area Executive Leading Massachusetts Firm's Entry into Texas

It pays to know the territory, says a Massachusetts CEO who is setting up a “second home” for his company in Richardson’s Telecom Corridor, the same high-tech hub where he spent most of his career.

John Glazik, formerly with ADC Telecommunications and DSC Communications, has spent recent months developing plans for a Telecom Corridor research and development center for Ennovate Networks, based in Boxborough, MA. Those plans have come to fruition with this week’s appointment of Colin Oke, a former Nortel Networks executive, to a dual-pronged position as vice president and general manager of the Richardson site.

The site’s address is being kept hushed because the lease is still being negotiated. Glazik, who now lives in Boxborough with his family, did tell GlobeSt.com that its 25,000 sf “allows substantial ability to grow.”
