Kordia People

Regan Hughes

I’m an architecture and strategic development specialist, working on Ethernet and IP networks and services.

The lead IP designer for Kordia’s fixed CDMA roll-out in 2002, I also played a key role in the setup of Kordia’s new NOC to service this network.

Prior to working with Kordia, I spent 18 months overseas and worked with Colt Telecommunications in the UK; an award-winning WAN service provider with a footprint in 32 major European cities.

Since then, I’ve been working on the architecture development for Kordia’s network and Ethernet services.  This has included a major core network upgrade and the development of a suite of MEF based Ethernet and IP Managed WAN products.

Steve Roberts

A Business Manager with Kordia since 2004, I started off working as a Radio Technician in a radio studio environment. Once I’d completed my Bachelors Degree in Engineering, receiving a first class Honours at the University of Auckland, my broadcast career took off.

Completing a range of both low- and high-power broadcast transmission projects, including the deployment of FM broadcasting infrastructure around New Zealand, I then moved into DMR and fibre-optic transmission design and build projects.

I now have extensive product management and P&L responsibility for two of Kordia's key Product portfolios – Network Transport Capacity and Television Broadcast services.

Kevin Myers

I’ve been a part of the telecommunications world for over ten years now. Working both in the United States and in Australia, I have worked for carriers, vendors and in a consulting capacity.

Previous roles have included working as Network Planner for WorldCom in the ASPAC region; National Technical Manager and Country Manager for SMC Networks; and Customer Engineer as the broadband product specialist for Ericsson in the ADSL/ADSL2+/VDSL2 and FTTx technologies.

Now with Kordia, I’m currently working within the Broadband Solutions Group developing opportunities for Kordia and its partners.

Murray Goodman

A Business Manager at Kordia, I have P&L accountability for the Access products and services portfolio.

With a technical background in telecommunications, specifically data networking, my key interest is in the business side of this industry. Working with customers, vendors and engineers to innovate is my passion.

Since making the move from technical roles into Sales and Marketing / Product Management in the mid-90s, I’ve been involved in the product and market development of a number of new telecommunications products and services.
