Glimmerglass Networks, the leading supplier of intelligent optical layer management solutions, today announced that distinguished U.S. Army Lieutenant General (Retired) Michael Maples, former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, has joined its strategic advisory board, effective immediately. The strategic advisory board includes Frank Dzubeck, Michael Frankel, Tom Kelley and Martin Zimmerman.
“General Maples is one of the leading voices in defense intelligence, and his work for the U.S. Army and as Director of Defense Intelligence is unrivaled,” said Robert Lundy, CEO of Glimmerglass. “There are few individuals who understand intelligence requirements and opportunities better than General Maples. His strategic view further strengthens our advisory board as we continue to invest in and expand our defense, intelligence and law enforcement agency business. We are honored to have him on our board of advisors and look forward to ongoing collaboration.”
Lieutenant General (LTG) Maples served as the 16th Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from 2005 to 2009.

“Glimmerglass breakthroughs in optical signal management technology are transforming intelligence gathering and distribution capabilities,” said General Maples. “I’m pleased to join the company’s advisory board and participate in the pioneering work Glimmerglass is doing to remotely and instantly enable the configuration of optical paths for mission critical entities and applications. Now that the world is ringed in fiber, and bandwidth requirements and capacity are growing daily, Glimmerglass optical innovations are central to the success of intelligence and defense initiatives.”
