Leadership transition positions the company to scale AI-powered operations platform Z1N and expand managed services footprint.

Zirrus One today announced the appointment of Chandni Thakrar-Woolam as Chief Executive Officer. She succeeds Ron Pitcock, who is stepping down from the CEO role and will assume a position on the company’s Board of Directors.

The leadership transition marks the next phase of growth for Zirrus One as it expands its managed security services portfolio and advances adoption of Z1N, the company’s AI-powered network operations platform for service providers.

“I’m incredibly proud of the foundation we’ve built at Zirrus One and the impact we’ve made supporting service providers,” said Ron Pitcock. “With strong momentum behind both Zirrus One and Z1N, this is the right time for me to transition into a board role. Chandni is the right leader to guide the company forward, and I’m excited to support her as we scale the next chapter.”

Thakrar-Woolam brings two decades of leadership experience across telecommunications and technology sectors, with a proven record of enabling service providers to improve operational efficiency, enhance security posture, and drive revenue growth.

“I’m honored to lead Zirrus One at this important inflection point,” said Chandni Thakrar-Woolam. “Our mission is to help operators move from reactive operations to intelligent, AI-driven environments that accelerate innovation and improve customer experience.”
