In January of 2017 I began driving Cisco's Design Thinking transformation. Over the course of 18 months we secured internal funding (directly from Cisco Finance), assembled a small, high functioning team, convened a cross-functional stakeholder group consisting of 30+ of the most senior design leaders from across all of Cisco, held two Design Leadership Summits, developed a Cisco-specific Design Thinking framework, published and printed a 175 page guide to Getting Started with Cisco Design Thinking, launched an internal website, and so far have had more than 6,000 Cisco employees from virtually every organization and geography opt-in to get more information about our program, the Cisco Design Thinking Framework, and our upcoming training offerings.

The Cisco Founders Forum is a unique initiative comprised of the CEO's and technical co-founders of Cisco's acquired companies. Our charter is to accelerate and inspire innovation at Cisco globally. The Founders Forum was first convened in early 2014 but languished after a promising start. I was elected the first-ever Chair in late 2016 to lead a much-needed revitalization effort. Through this transformation effort the Founders Forum is now a vibrant, founder-lead initiative that meets quarterly with Cisco's executive leadership and drives multiple innovation-focused work streams.

Lead client-facing executive for Cisco's Cloud Collaboration Technology Group, meeting with 100+ customers and partners each year to share our vision and strategy. As part of my responsibilities I created Cisco's unique Collaboration Experience Workshop (CEW) program, headquartered in our San Francisco Innovation Center. These full- and half-day workshops are dialog-driven and dive deep to cover Cisco's latest cloud collaboration architectures and associated product offerings. CEW's are among the highest rated programs within the company with an internal NPS score consistent over 80.

Collaborate.com was acquired by Cisco in December of 2013. Cisco's Collaboration Technology Group incorporated our team and technology into the core of what is now know as Cisco Spark (www.ciscospark.com). Prior to the acquisition, Collaborate.com was a mobile-first platform for unified document sharing, task management, and team communication agile workers. The App Store featured our iPhone app hundreds of times globally. We founded company in 2011 and were backed by Google Ventures, Charles River Ventures, General Catalyst, SOS Ventures, Commonwealth Capital Ventures, Launch Capital, and others.

I was one of the first non-technical hires at Visible Measures and led the design and development of both our brand and our analytic services capability. My contributions included the definition of Visible Measures' core viral video measurement analytic methodologies, our client engagement model, and the methods of comparing relative performance of viral videos as individual creative elements multiplied across dozens of destination sites and thousands of unique copies. While CMO I created the industry-defining Top 10 Viral Video Chart program, which directly resulted in prominent editorial relationships with AdAge (and the corresponding Viral Video Advertising Awards), Variety, MotorTrend, and later the Wall Street Journal. During my tenure Visible Measures transformed from a 15 person local startup to an internationally recognized online advertising measurement brand with more than 150 employees.
