Peder Ulander is an expert in marketing and strategy, having started his career at Symantec as Product Manager and Business Development Analys about 20 years ago, he then served as Director of Marketing at Sun Micro Systems. Ulander was VP of Strategy at Pure Networks, when the company was acquired by Cisco Systems.
