Through Cordial Consulting, he also served in various positions for Callwave Inc., a provider of telecommunications software, including as chief financial officer, principal accounting officer and senior vice president of business strategy from May 2005 to December 2006. Before founding Cordial Consulting, Mr. Cordial served as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Somera Communications, Inc., a telecommunications equipment company, as chief financial officer of Xylan Corporation, a data switching solutions company later acquired by Alcatel, and as chief financial officer of PMC-Sierra, Inc.
