Potter Brings Extensive Experience to New Role
Mr. Potter has cultured a wealth of experience en route to landing his new role at Solarflare having worked previously as Senior Vice President and CTO of HP's Enterprise Group (EG). Prior to this position he also served in senior management roles at Compaq.
