PacketFabric Names Networking Industry Veteran Anna Tichborne COO

Tichborne was previously General Counsel at Megaport, also a Network as a Service provider, where she was instrumental in launching the company’s global business operations into 25 countries and advising on employment issues in 13 nations.

“I’m thrilled to add Anna to the executive team,” said Vincent English, Chief Executive Officer at PacketFabric. “Her experience launching and operating businesses around the world will be invaluable to the company as it expands its presence globally and makes our services available to customers worldwide.”

Tichborne has more than 20 years of experience leading startups and multinational, public companies in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, including tenures at major Australian brands Ray White, LMG, and Transpacific Industries Group. She has worked across multiple global industry sectors including IT, telecommunications, real estate, finance, franchising, entertainment, employment, and aviation.

“I am excited to join PacketFabric at this pivotal juncture in the company’s growth journey,” Tichborne said. “With the accelerating usage of cloud services and the emergence of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum computing, the demands of data consumption on the networks of enterprises have never been higher. PacketFabric was built from the ground up as a massive, cloud-scale network to address these increasing demands. I am excited to lead the company’s expansion as it aims to capture more of the Network as a Service opportunity and deliver new capabilities to our customers and partners.”
