September 21, 2026



Technetix has announced that Nader Foroughi has rejoined the company 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.

Foroughi’s primary mandate will be to lead further development of NeuronX, build a high-performing AI software team, and define the capabilities, organisation and delivery model required to accelerate Technetix’ AI strategy. He will work with teams across Technetix to identify applications where AI can deliver measurable operational and commercial value for customers, improve network performance and efficiency.


Foroughi 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 centre, 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.

Jan Ariesen, Group Chief Technology Officer of Technetix, commented: “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.”

Foroughi added: “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.”
