Jim Moylan
Jim Moylan, the longtime Ciena finance chief, has steered his company through tumultuous economic moments, including the 2008-09 financial crisis and the pandemic. Before his planned retirement in August, he’s doing it one more time, helping the fiber-optic gear supplier navigate a trade war.
Ciena, which is based in Hanover, Md., supplies companies with networking equipment and has operations around the world. The company is planning to offset some tariff-related costs by implementing a surcharge on hardware parts for some customers. The company is also working to update its billing systems to account for the new tariff regime, and is assessing the impact of new tariffs on its supply chain.
