San Jose–based Calix, Inc. announced the appointment of Amritesh (Amrit) Chaudhuri as executive vice president and chief marketing officer. The Indian-origin executive will oversee the company’s global go-to-market organization, including corporate, product, field, and partner marketing.
Chaudhuri, who brings more than two decades of experience in marketing, product, sales, and revenue operations, succeeds J. Matthew Collins. Collins led Calix’s go-to-market and commercial operations teams until his death in May 2025.
Michael Weening, president and chief executive officer of Calix, said the company welcomed Chaudhuri at a critical moment for the industry. “Amrit brings the ideal combination of end-to-end go-to-market leadership, a customer-first mindset, and a track record of transforming teams,” Weening said. “He joins at a critical moment of opportunity for the industry and our customers, as AI is changing the game. With a proven record of scaling success across cloud and product, Amrit’s go-to-market leadership and expertise will be invaluable to BSPs as they transform their businesses leveraging the forthcoming agentic AI capabilities of our third-generation platform.”
Chaudhuri said he was joining Calix at a pivotal time. “I’m thrilled to join Calix at a pivotal time when its $2 billion investment over 13 years has brought the company to an unprecedented opportunity with agentic AI,” he said.
Calix is preparing to launch the third generation of its broadband platform, one of the most significant developments in its 26-year history. The platform, developed through $2 billion in investment over 13 years, is designed to help broadband service providers (BSPs) streamline operations, deliver new services, and increase value.
The next-generation platform will feature an evolved agentic AI architecture and introduce AI-driven tools across Calix solutions. The company said these additions are intended to accelerate BSPs’ transition into broadband experience providers.
Chaudhuri has previously held senior positions at Oracle, RingCentral, and 8x8. His career has focused on building integrated go-to-market strategies, defining new market categories, and advancing AI-driven customer experience transformation.
“Calix isn’t just keeping pace—we’re setting the pace,” Chaudhuri said. “With unmatched vision, talent, and resources to lead in the AI era, our platform is built to help broadband service providers of any size simplify their operations, innovate for their subscribers, and grow value for themselves and their communities.”
