5G Wireless Taps Cisco Business Development Executive Kirk Haney as
Independent Director to Board
MARINA DEL REY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)----5G Wireless
Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:FGWC), an emerging leader in the wireless
broadband industry, announced today that Kirk L. Haney has been
appointed an independent director to its Board.
Mr. Haney currently works in Global Business Development for Cisco
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO). In this capacity, he was instrumental in
creating Cisco's global security sales strategy, which resulted in
Cisco surpassing $1bil. in security sales for FY 2004. In addition to
leading several of Cisco's enterprise and advanced technology sales
and engineering teams, Mr. Haney has also been an advisor to Cisco's
Corporate Business Development team on various investment and
acquisition candidates.
Prior to his Cisco experience, Mr. Haney held senior management
positions in sales, marketing and business development for 3Com
Corporation and ArrowPoint Communications (acquired by Cisco). While
at ArrowPoint, Mr. Haney led the team that increased revenue from $0
to an $80 million run rate, which eventually led to Cisco's $5.9
billion acquisition of ArrowPoint. In private equity, Mr. Haney has
made eight major investments over the last two years and was the lead
on two of them.
Mr. Haney holds a BA in Political Science from California State
University, Long Beach, and an MBA from Pepperdine University.
"Kirk's expertise in creating and nurturing top selling organizations
will help guide our direct sales and channel development efforts as
we accelerate penetration into the university and municipal/public
safety markets," stated Jerry Dix, 5G Wireless CEO. "He also
possesses the real world insights and connections 5G requires to
become a major player in the wireless broadband space. We are
delighted to have Mr. Haney as the latest board member bringing the
