Onpath Technologies, a provider of scalable connectivity and monitoring offerings for high performance networks, has appointed Brian McCann as CEO.

McCann brings with him considerable experience in the areas of revenue growth and market expansion for networking offerings, and succeeds Peter Dougherty, the company’s founding CEO, who will remain in a strategic advisory role with Onpath.

He joined Onpath as chief sales and marketing officer in 2008, and restructured the sales team and led the efforts to more than double revenues in 2009.

In the CEO role, McCann is also responsible for the new vision, corporate growth strategy, and total leadership of the business.

Before joining Onpath, McCann was the founding president of the US Division of ADVA Optical Networking, where he successfully grew their North American business to over $100m in revenues.

Prior to that, he spent nine years in various senior management roles at 3M Corporation.

Onpath chairman of the board of directors Jim Huston said that Brian’s intensity and customer-driven approach has helped ONPATH expand into new applications and markets. His proven ability to grow innovative businesses, and the success of the last 18 months makes Onpath a very exciting company.
