Cisco recruited me as the controller for the Core Routing & IOS division, and I led that finance organization for four years. During that time, product line revenues grew from $800M to $3B+ and employees scaled from 200 to 1,300+. The SVP of Software promoted me to Director of Engineering where I was responsible for enhancing productivity across the IOS software development organization. I set the strategy and led a global team of 125 to refactor the software tools, development environment, and infrastructure for 10+ major product lines. Ultimately, I led international market and channel development for the $1B+ Wireless LAN WiFi product line, which created opportunities in new and emerging global markets for mobility technologies.Selected Accomplishments:• Cut development seat cost from $30K to $3K & improved build-system performance by 10x• Transformed IOS source code; enabled use of standard software development tools • Introduced IOS source code modularization processes; decreased complexity by 1/3 • Adapted a single-vendor development environment to Linux & open source based tools• Implemented SW analysis tools & processes; reduced customer-found defects by 25%• Championed an industry ecosystem; developed third-party relationships & investments• Led Cisco equity stake in Klocwork; held BoD seat & advised on large code base issues • Negotiated multiple IP & OEM licenses with third-party vendors; integrated into new OS• Spearheaded global sales/bus dev for mobility technologies; revenue grew by 20%• Defended offshore tax strategy to IRS; achieved clean audit & saved $1B in tax liability
