Two decades of optical networking expertise and a proven track record of transforming advanced technologies into commercial success to lead Infraeo’s continued growth.

ROUND ROCK, Texas, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Infraeo, Inc., a provider of high-speed copper and optical interconnects engineered for AI data centers, today announced the appointment of Rakesh Sambaraju as President and Chief Executive Officer. His appointment reflects Infraeo’s commitment to scaling rapidly in response to the explosive demand for interconnect technologies that enable high-performance AI infrastructure.

As the industry evolves toward higher speeds for training and a transition to distributed AI inferencing, I look forward to taking the company to the next level by investing in advanced optical technologies like NPO, CPO, and coherent optics,

Dr. Sambaraju brings more than 20 years of experience across optical communications and high-speed interconnects, with a proven track record of translating advanced photonics research into commercial products at scale. Over his career, he has held technology and business development leadership roles at Sterlite Technologies, Nexans, and Corning, and most recently served as Executive Vice President at Infraeo, giving him deep familiarity with the company’s technology and markets as he steps into the CEO role. He holds a Ph.D. (summa cum laude), M.S., and B.Tech. in Optical Communications from the Universitat Politècnica de València.

He assumes the role at a pivotal moment, as hyperscalers and AI builders push toward higher bandwidth, lower latency, and greater energy efficiency across both training and inference workloads.

Under Sambaraju’s leadership, Infraeo will continue the evolution of its pluggable 1.6T optical and copper interconnect portfolio while advancing technology purpose-built for AI inferencing at the edge — including low-latency and long-reach options, as well as near-package optics (NPO) applications. Together, these advances position Infraeo to support the full span of AI workloads, from centralized training clusters to distributed inference at the edge.

“AI connectivity is seeing unprecedented growth, and I couldn’t be more excited to lead Infraeo at such a pivotal moment for our industry. We have a very solid offering in this space today, with 800G and 1.6T AECs and optics. As the industry evolves toward higher speeds for training and a transition to distributed AI inferencing, I look forward to taking the company to the next level by investing in advanced optical technologies like NPO, CPO, and coherent optics,” said Rakesh Sambaraju, President and CEO of Infraeo.
