Tetrate, the enterprise service mesh company founded by creators and maintainers of Istio and Envoy, today announced that Sanjay Poonen will serve as a strategic advisor to the company. Poonen is a seasoned high-tech executive with extensive experience in product innovation and go-to-market scaling of multibillion-dollar businesses.

He also ran the company’s security and end-user computing businesses. Prior to VMware, Poonen served as president of SAP, leading applications, industries and platform solutions and sales teams, driving growth from $10 billion to $20 billion, including HANA, the fastest product to reach $1 billion in revenue in SAP history.

“We’re extremely pleased to welcome Sanjay to our board of advisors,” said Jeyappragash “JJ” Jeyakeerthi, co-founder of Tetrate. “Both his management wisdom and domain expertise run broad and deep in virtually every aspect of high-tech business growth—from product to business development and sales to engineering needs for cloud, applications, analytics and security. He’s widely regarded by colleagues as visionary, inspiring and strategic, and he understands how Tetrate’s application connectivity solutions are a key component for modern cloud computing, now and well into the future.”
“It's enormously inspiring to see businesses with key solutions, like Tetrate, doing important, creative work, innovating at cloud speed, and winning customer traction,” said Poonen. “Amid today’s cyber-insecure landscape and a regulatory environment racing to keep pace, modernizing applications with service mesh across clusters, clouds and data centers is critical. Understanding how open-source approaches are shaping technology expansion and helping enterprises thrive now and in the decade to come is key, too—and Tetrate is ahead of the curve with this, meeting business challenges with the right product portfolio.”

New ABB and BCG Report Highlights Growing Role of Direct Current Technologies in Future Power Systems9.9.2026 12:42:00 EEST | Press release
ABB today published a new report, The Strategic Case for Hybrid AC/DC Power: Shaping the Transition to the Next Electrical Architecture, developed in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The report makes the case that direct current (DC) technology is moving from the periphery to the center of industrial, commercial, and digital infrastructure – and that the decisions made by business leaders and policymakers in the next two to three years will determine who shapes that transition and who inherits it. The future of power distribution is not an either-or choice between alternating current (AC) and direct current, but a hybrid system that combines the strengths of both technologies. While AC will remain the backbone of most transmission and regional distribution networks, DC is expected to play an increasingly important role within facilities where many major energy sources and loads already operate natively on direct current. The fastest-growing technologies, including sola
