Nader Foroughi returns to Technetix to lead the company’s AI strategy

September 21, 2026, Albourne, UK - Nader Foroughi returns to Technetix to lead the company’s AI strategy, expand NeuronX and build a specialist AI software team focused on secure, operator-controlled network intelligence. 
 
Technetix is delighted to announce that Nader Foroughi will rejoin the company on September 21 in the newly created role of Chief AI Officer. His appointment represents an important step in Technetix’ strategy to expand the role of artificial intelligence and AI-driven software across its broadband technology portfolio. 
 
Nader’s primary mandate will be to lead the growth and further development of NeuronX, build a high-performing AI software team, and define the capabilities, organization and delivery model required to accelerate Technetix’ AI strategy. 
 
A key focus will be the development of AI that operates within the broadband operator’s own network environment, allowing sensitive customer data, network information and operational knowledge to remain securely under the operator’s control. This approach is intended to enable operators to benefit from advanced AI while maintaining control of their data and network intelligence. 
 
Nader will work closely with teams across Technetix to identify applications where AI can deliver measurable operational and commercial value for customers, improve network performance and efficiency, and further differentiate the Technetix product portfolio. 
 
Nader originally joined Technetix in 2022 as CTO Americas, where he made a significant contribution to the company’s technology strategy and industry engagement. In 2024, he joined Comcast, where he led AI and automation initiatives across its data center, core and access networks. This provided valuable operator-side experience in applying AI to advanced broadband network environments and translating complex technical opportunities into practical, deployable solutions. 
 
Nader is widely respected for his expertise in AI and network technology and for his ability to communicate complex technical concepts with clarity and impact. He has also worked closely with leading technology companies including NVIDIA, Dell and HPE. 
 
Jan Ariesen, Group Chief Technology Officer of Technetix, said: “We are delighted to welcome Nader back to Technetix. He combines deep broadband knowledge, practical AI experience and strong technical leadership gained from working inside one of the world’s most advanced broadband networks. 
 
“Our ambition is to make AI a practical part of the operator’s network, using network data and operational knowledge while keeping that intelligence securely within the operator’s environment. Nader will lead the development of NeuronX, build our specialist AI team and accelerate our AI roadmap.” 
 
Nader Foroughi, Chief AI Officer of Technetix, said: “I am excited to return to Technetix at a time when AI is creating significant opportunities for broadband operators. Technetix’ combination of network expertise, technology and close customer relationships provides a strong foundation for practical AI solutions. 
“I look forward to building the team, advancing NeuronX and turning AI innovation into measurable improvements in network operations and performance.”
