Mr. Madonna founded Excel Switching Corporation in 1988 where he served as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President. Lucent Technologies purchased Excel in 1999. With the onset of de–regulation in the Telecommunications Industry, Mr. Madonna saw the opportunity to introduce an open, programmable and standards–based technology that would enable rapid deployment of new applications and features. Using this innovative approach, Excel Switching quickly became the leading provider of open–programmable switches to some of the largest Telecomm companies around the world. Eighteen years later, Mr. Madonna is applying the same principles of open and programmable systems at Savant that drove Excel Switching to the forefront of Telecom.
