Jim Monroe
Jim runs the Corporate Marketing & Communications organization at JDSU, which means he gets to work with PR pros, graphic design artists, web gurus, e-marketing mavens and other communications talent to tell the company’s story. He held a similar role at MCI (now Verizon) and worked for Fleishman-Hillard (F-H), a communications consulting firm. At F-H, he served lots of telecom and technology clients and once earned a plum assignment with the Anheuser-Busch Williamsburg (VA) Brewery account.
Jim likes working at such a diverse, cutting-edge technology company…it helps him stay current with his three kids.

Noël calls herself a “corporate storyteller” and enjoys producing videos and writing stories that reveal different facets about JDSU, particularly in the areas of optical communications, consumer electronics and advanced optical technologies that underlie many of the products people use every day. She has been with JDSU since 2007, and has also held corporate communications positions at Travelocity and VeriFone in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In her spare time, Noël is creating a children’s storybook and is doing extensive online research to find the best digital camera to supplement her drawing habit.
Bernie has been spreading the word about JDSU for more than seven years – particularly in the areas of emerging communications, broadband, and mobile technologies. The blogosphere will give Bernie an exciting and immediate way to share what’s happening at JDSU as well as interesting tidbits that people may not know about JDSU. He has also held previous communications positions at major telecom companies and communications consulting firms.
Bernie once had the privilege of briefing actor Danny Glover for a cool client assignment that one day he hopes will impress his daughter - who is currently too young to care.
