Industry Veteran Julie Kunstler Joins Actelis Networks Board Amid Growth Push
Sponsored · Market Discovery ContentActelis Networks, a leading provider of cyber-hardened networking solutions for IoT and broadband applications, has announced the appointment of industry veteran Julie Kunstler to its Board of Directors as an independent director. The move is set to bolster the company’s strategic positioning in the rapidly evolving telecommunications sector.
With over three decades of experience in communications components and broadband access equipment, Kunstler brings a wealth of knowledge to Actelis Networks. Her background spans executive management, venture capital investment, industry analysis, and board governance, making her a significant addition as the company seeks to expand its market presence.
Kunstler currently serves on the board of Ethernity Networks Ltd., traded on the London Stock Exchange, and previously served on the board of TTI Team Telecom International until its acquisition by TEOCO in 2010. Her extensive board experience reflects a deep understanding of corporate governance, strategic growth, and technology-driven markets.
“I am honored to join Actelis’ Board,” stated Julie Kunstler. “The requirements for secure, broadband access networking solutions are expanding across residential, enterprise, campus, and governmental segments. Actelis is well-positioned to address key challenges in cybersecurity, edge and access networking, and critical infrastructure. I look forward to contributing to the company’s continued growth and success across multiple sectors.”
Actelis Networks’ Chairman and CEO, Tuvia Barlev, welcomed Kunstler to the board, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Julie to the Actelis Board as an independent director. Her strategic vision and extensive expertise in broadband access and network infrastructure will be instrumental as we strengthen our leadership in cyber-hardened hybrid-fiber networking solutions and cyber-aware networking.”
Kunstler’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for Actelis Networks, which has been making significant strides in expanding its leadership team and securing new contracts. Earlier this month, the company appointed industry veteran Niel Ransom to its Board of Directors, enhancing its leadership in secure networking and critical infrastructure. Ransom, who has nearly five decades of experience in networking and communications technology, brings additional depth to the board as Actelis focuses on growth and innovation.
In addition to strengthening its leadership team, Actelis has been securing significant orders that position the company for future opportunities. In January, Actelis announced a substantial order ahead of the expected next phase of the UK’s National Roads Telecommunications Service (NRTS). This positions the company for major future opportunities in upgrading the UK’s transportation network with advanced digital services.
Actelis has also been proactive in engaging with the investment community. Last month, the company presented at The Microcap Conference 2025 in Atlantic City, NJ, where Deputy CEO and CFO Yoav Efron discussed the company’s growth strategy and upcoming opportunities.
Kunstler’s appointment underscores Actelis’ commitment to enhancing its board with diverse perspectives and deep industry knowledge. With an MBA from the University of Chicago and recognition such as the Fiber Lifetime Achievement Award by the Fiber Broadband Association in July 2024, her strategic insights are expected to play a crucial role in guiding the company’s mission to deliver innovative, secure networking solutions globally.
As the demand for secure, high-speed networking solutions continues to grow across various sectors, Actelis Networks is positioning itself at the forefront of providing cyber-hardened, rapid deployment networking solutions. The addition of experienced leaders like Kunstler and Ransom signals the company’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the telecommunications industry.
