Sweeney feels up to the job. He's a veteran of tough markets, having served in various senior executive posts at Level 3 Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: LVLT); MCI (Nasdaq: WCOEQ, MCWEQ), the carrier formerly known as WorldCom; MFS Communications; and his own management consulting company.
Sweeney's also chairman of the board of Front Porch Digital Inc., a software startup he helped start through the consulting firm he owned prior to joining MSI. Front Porch Digital is described on its Website as converting "audio, video, images, text and data into digital formats that enable searching, browsing, editing, storage and on-demand delivery of content in nearly any other digital format through a single capture."
Sweeney was interviewed by Byte and Switch Site Editor Mary Jander during Christmas week, a time when numerous other companies throughout the storage networking industry close up shop. Despite the season, he seemed eager to give us the details of his strategic outlook and just as eager to get off the phone and back to business.
