“Bigleaf is poised to revolutionize the networking industry for countless organizations that depend on flawless network performance as a core part of their operational success.” said Idle. “I’ve been incredibly impressed by Bigleaf’s unique positioning and rapid growth in a highly dynamic market.

As the world becomes even more dependent on the internet, IT organizations are managing more endpoints, networks and connected applications than ever before. When those connections are disrupted, the resulting slowdowns and outages can cause business-critical applications to fail. IT teams don’t have time for unplanned disruptions or costly outages. Ideal for distributed enterprises, Bigleaf’s unique Cloud-Access Network serves as an internet and cloud connectivity foundation that can easily layer onto any existing ISP or firewall installation without the need for expensive and complex deployments.

“We couldn’t be happier to welcome Dave Idle to Bigleaf,” said Greg Davis, CEO of Bigleaf. “Having spent his career at some of the biggest and most innovative networking organizations in the world, Dave brings an outside-in perspective to the value that Bigleaf extends to our customers and partners,” Davis continued. “Dave is an important addition to the Bigleaf leadership team as we continue to accelerate our growth.”
