In this role, I am responsible for managing a $1B+ hyperspecialist sales organization, a team of 60+ global sales professionals and leaders that drive growth and differentiation across Cisco's networking and security portfolio.Under my leadership, in FY24, we achieved a 59% Y/Y revenue growth and successfully increased our software adoption by 44% Y/Y exceeding over $850M in annual sales bookings.My earlier roles with Cisco Meraki (joining in 2015 at ~$400MM annual revenue) helped me apply my skillset to define the sales process, build strategic partnerships and structure to help play a small part in scaling Meraki to $4B+ today. Prior to Meraki, I held Enterprise Sales roles at Samsung, AT&T, and Verizon supporting a wide variety of F100 accounts and territories globally, including the City of New York Government.In addition to my professional experience, I hold a MBA from Villanova University and a BS in Business Administration from the University of Pittsburgh.
