ARRIS International has appointed Bruce McClelland as CEO of the company, taking over from Bob Stanzione who will become ARRIS Executive Chairman in addition to continuing to serve as Chairman of the Board of the Company.
McClelland joined ARRIS in 1999 as Vice President of Engineering, leading the product development of the Company's voice and broadband products. As the Company expanded its product offering and global presence, McClelland served in multiple roles including Group President, for products and services, and General Manager of the Customer Premises Equipment unit.
In his current role as President, Network & Cloud and Global Services, McClelland is responsible for overseeing the development and delivery of a diverse portfolio of broadband and video network infrastructure products and cloud-based software solutions, along with an extensive technical and professional services organization.
McClelland came to ARRIS following 11 years at Nortel Networks/Bell Northern Research (BNR). He began his career with BNR in Ottawa, Canada and was responsible for development of Nortel's SS7 switching products immediately prior to joining ARRIS. McClelland has a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Saskatchewan.
