Lowe, a qualified engineer, has formerly worked for Tranz Rail and
IBM New Zealand as well as NZ Post before it was separated from Telecom.
He joins Alcatel-Lucent from US firm
AT&T Corporation where he most recently held the role of Asia-Pacific regional vice president.

"A significant achievement and one indicative of the expertise and commitment to world-class delivery locally."
Alcatel-Lucent employs over 700 people in New Zealand through offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch.
