He will succeed Kazuhiro Gomi, who was named COO of NTT America in June.
In his new role, Junkins will oversee the company’s technology procurement strategy and vendor selection, industry relations and standardization efforts, and overall product portfolio coordination across both the global IP network and enterprise solutions business units of NTT America.
He will continue to serve as vice president of IP development for the global IP network business unit, overseeing network architecture, tool development and peering relations.
