Inseego expanded its leadership team with the appointment of Donna Johnson as Chief Marketing Officer and the promotion of Vishal Donthireddy to Chief Technology Officer. The moves underscore the company’s strategy to scale its mobile broadband and fixed wireless access (FWA) businesses while deepening investments in software and platform intelligence.
Johnson, a veteran of Ericsson Enterprise Wireless (formerly Cradlepoint), Citrix, and Talari Networks, will drive Inseego’s global marketing strategy and strengthen partner engagement. She will focus on positioning the company as a leader in cloud-managed enterprise connectivity. Donthireddy, who has been with Inseego for nearly two decades, steps into the CTO role after leading engineering efforts that supported milestones such as the launch of MiFi and early 5G-Advanced solutions.
CEO Juho Sarvikas said the appointments reinforce Inseego’s evolution from a device-focused company into a software-centric enterprise connectivity provider. Johnson emphasized the company’s opportunity to expand secure, cloud-managed wireless solutions, while Donthireddy highlighted the roadmap from 5G toward 6G innovation.
• Donna Johnson named Chief Marketing Officer, bringing enterprise wireless experience from Ericsson and Cradlepoint
• Vishal Donthireddy promoted to Chief Technology Officer after nearly 20 years at Inseego
• Leadership changes support Inseego’s shift from hardware-centric to cloud-managed software and enterprise solutions

“Inseego has always been at the forefront of technical innovation, from building the MiFi category to being first to market with 5G-Advanced,” said CEO Juho Sarvikas. “With these leadership moves, we are strengthening our ability to expand what’s possible with wireless networking and cloud-managed enterprise solutions.”
🌐 Analysis: These leadership changes highlight Inseego’s push to reposition itself against competitors in the enterprise FWA and wireless WAN markets, including Ericsson/Cradlepoint and Cisco. Johnson’s background aligns closely with enterprise and channel marketing at scale, while Donthireddy’s long tenure anchors continuity in engineering leadership. The moves suggest Inseego is doubling down on becoming not just a device vendor, but a strategic player in enterprise wireless infrastructure, especially as enterprises prepare for 5G-Advanced and future 6G connectivity.
