Reginald Evans is the managing director of the East Asia Pacific (EAP) region for the Enterprise Solutions Division of CommScope, a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks. His experience in data and telecommunications spans more than 20 years. Mr. Evans started his career as a learner technician for an electricity generation and distribution company that supplied electricity throughout Southern Africa. He progressed through the ranks in the company to become one of their youngest principal technicians.
Mr. Evans has worked in various countries around the world. In New Zealand he was involved in setting up a sales and service office for an Australian manufacturing and distribution company in Auckland. Returning to South Africa, he set up Fibercom (Cape), a specialist fiber optic distribution business. He grew this business to become the leading fiber optic and associated products distribution business. He initiated a fiber optic training course that became the local industry standard and a requirement for employment to many of the local data and voice cabling contractor companies. Mr. Evans was also appointed as chairman of the Cape Chapter for the Communications Cabling Association of South Africa.
In 1992, AT&T approached Fibercom to distribute their fiber optic cable and associated products; thus began Mr. Evans’ relationship with SYSTIMAX. In 2000, he joined Lucent Technologies as a business manager covering New Zealand and various states in Australia. He remained with the organization through its various transitions to become SYSTIMAX Solutions™.
