I lead and manage Cisco's global relationships with some of the world's largest and most influential web and cloud companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Apple. We supply products and services to enable our customers' core offerings to the market and work with them to fulfill their goals. I lead a team of 140 sales and engineering personnel with accountability for an additional 100+ staff in service delivery, marketing, products, and corporate development.It's really all about disruption and re-defining the customer experience. What Netflix has done for streaming and what Amazon has done for retail are similar in that they've used technology in new markets and new business models. They are innovating at a pace unlike anything we've seen before. Our clients are established companies that need to innovate at scale, and that's what we try to enable for them.Every day, I get to work with companies that are changing the world. They are changing how economies, consumers, and even governments operate — and I'm gratified to be at the forefront of supporting that innovation.
