Tom Nadeau

Today we chat with Tom Nadeau, the CTO of Spirent. 

Tom shares his non-traditional career path, from his early days doing AI in undergraduate and autonomous robots cleaning the underwater side of boats, to his current role at Spirent, where he works on some cool projects like satellite technology and rocket science.

Tom also talks about how he moved over to Networking after AI didn’t work out, how he bumped into the inventor of SNMP, and had one of the hardest interviews of his career.

He also shares his insights on how to navigate difficult situations, how to make the best of it when things don’t work out, and how to build relationships even after making mistakes.

One of the secrets to being successful at the IETF is the people that roll their sleeves up and do the work.  
A lot of people are going to want to talk about things, they're going to want to tell you to do things.
That’s fine, but the most successful people are the ones that sit down and just write it down, build it, and get it going.
