Optical equipment maker ONI Systems announced Wednesday that its chief financial officer, Chris Davis, left to take the CFO spot at McLeodUSA, an upstart telecom carrier, and will be replaced by the company's vice president of finance, Ken Burckhardt. The company also promoted Rusty Cumpston from executive vice president of engineering and operations to the newly created position of chief operating officer.
