 Mike
Hatfield is a highly successful entrepreneur and
engineer who is now leading the growth of his
third technology-based company in California.
His newest venture, Cyan, Inc., is a
telecommunications systems company that builds
advanced systems to meet the demands placed on
high-bandwidth, real-time networks. Prior to
founding Cyan, Hatfield was a founder and the
president and CEO of Calix Inc., a leading
supplier of telecommunications solutions
designed to simplify all aspects of voice, data
and video service delivery for local exchange
carriers of all sizes. The first company
Hatfield helped to create was Cerent
Corporation, an industry leader in high-speed
optical transport.
Hatfield earned a bachelor of science degree in
electrical engineering and mathematical
economics from Rose-Hulman in 1984. He also
received an MBA in finance from Indiana
University. A major gift from Hatfield and his
wife, Deborah, to his alma mater enabled
Rose-Hulman to build Hatfield Hall, an
outstanding facility that houses a 600-seat
theatre, an Alumni Center, rehearsal rooms for
student performing arts groups and
administrative officers for alumni affairs,
development and public relations. Hatfield Hall
opened in August, 2002. The building is named in
honor of Mike's parents, Larry and Pat. Mike
Hatfield is also a member of the Rose-Hulman
Board of Trustees. He serves as the chair of the
trustees' academic affairs committee.
He is a founder and board member of two
Non-Profit Organizations. The Indianapolis-based
Indiana Venture Center is a catalyst for the
creation and growth of entrepreneurial,
high-growth businesses in Indiana. The Housing
Land Trust of Sonoma County increases home
ownership opportunities to low- and
moderate-income families in Sonoma County,
California while ensuring permanent housing
affordability through the use of a land trust
model.
Hatfield currently resides in Northern
California and is a native of Anderson, Indiana. |
