| Biography: |
Chris Roberts has worked in the Australian and Asian Telecomms industry for over 15 years, always with a product and engineering focus. Initially employed as a Pre-sales Engineer with Siemens, Chris 'cut his teeth' working on voice switching and early ATM networks when Ethernet was still confined to the LAN. Chris then moved from the vendor to service provider community, with Product Management roles in such 'challenger' service providers as RequestDSL, PowerTel and AAPT. After a Product Strategy role in Telstra Wholesale, Chris now leads the Product Engineering team in NBN Co's CTO group, supporting and developing the technical features of the NBN Co products. |
