In 1996 Finisar hired Ellis as the first marketing person for a small instrumentation offering supporting its optical module product line.  The instrumentation line grew to the point where it provided most of the profits for the company. This was accomplished by:

  •  Hiring sales representatives that were known and trusted

  •  Hiring sales managers who knew how to make the relationship with the representatives work

  •  Listening very carefully to our customers, thereby providing timely products to meet emerging needs

In 1998 Finisar became the #1 manufacturer of Fibre Channel test equipment used for SAN development and remains so.

Finisar went public in 2000, breaking IPO records. Using the cash raised Finisar purchased several other companies. Finisar in 2002 reduced the workforce by 30%.

In 2003, Ellis joined Furaxa marketing very high speed pulser and sampler technology for a variety of applications. See www.furaxa.com for details.
