Kevin was fortunate to be part of this incredible company, worked with visionary leaders and led teams of talented, committed individuals. He originally joined Cisco to create its telecommunications service provider franchise and later headed up Engineering in the region across Cisco’s entire technology portfolio (sometimes referred to as “architectures”). He led Cisco’s insertion in APAC into new markets like healthcare, transport and agriculture and was integral to driving some of Cisco’s largest corporate deals, including Telstra’s metro ethernet service, IAG’s core national digital infrastructure and the deployment of Western Australia’s health network across the state. As part of Cisco’s National Digital Acceleration Programme, a $100million+ investment, Kevin was instrumental in establishing the first Innovation Centres in Australia. These world-leading tech hubs, based in Sydney and Perth, brought together corporate, government and venture capital investors and provided them with the opportunity to foster and develop new and exciting technologies created by Australian entrepreneurs. Kevin presented publicly to over 20,000 customers and partners every year. His most popular topic was “Top ICT Trends”.
