Calix, Inc. today announced that Juergen Lindner has been appointed Calix chief marketing officer to lead its marketing organization. As a proven operator with extensive experience scaling software businesses, Juergen joins Calix at a pivotal moment as customers leverage secure agentic capabilities of the Calix One platform to deliver predictable outcomes, increase operational leverage, and accelerate growth.
Across leadership roles at SAP, Oracle, and ServiceNow, Juergen has built and scaled global marketing organizations that have helped customers navigate industry-defining technology transitions and drive measurable business outcomes.
"Access to AI by itself is no longer a durable advantage. The ability to turn AI into outcomes is," said Juergen Lindner, chief marketing officer at Calix. "Throughout my career, I've seen transformative technologies create enormous opportunity, but winning companies are those obsessed with customer outcomes and relentless in execution. AI is no different. It requires the right architecture, governance, and operational foundation to deliver measurable impact. Calix has built that foundation, backed by years of innovation and deeply trusted customer and partner relationships. I'm excited to build on that strength—making our value even clearer, accelerating the impact we deliver, and helping more customers realize the full potential of Calix One."
Calix One unifies appliances, cloud, and software through the Calix Agent Workforce workflow engine. With strategic partners such as Google Cloud, Calix is extending the value of its platform across service providers and adjacent markets.
Michael Weening, president and chief executive officer at Calix, said: "As agentic AI continues to advance at an incredible pace, what got us here will not get us where we are going. Juergen brings firsthand experience helping one of the world's most influential software companies navigate technology transitions and adapt AI strategy into growth. His leadership will be invaluable as we build on our 15-year digital transformation journey and $2 billion investment to create Calix One, incorporating a secure and predictable engine for agentic workflows with Calix Agent Workforce. This positions us to enable every customer to lead the AI era."
