Cisco Video Dennis Powell: CFO Talks Collaboration


I worked with Dennis Powell in 1999 on Cisco’s Y2K project way back when he was a VP and the controller of the company.  He’s now an EVP and the CFO.  He was smart, steady and deliberate in his approach to managing a global “follow the sun” Y2K operation and he is the same now that he is CFO.

You can watch him live via webcast at 2:00PM PT...or come back later and watch the archive.  In the meantime, you can watch this short video to see his answers to the following questions:

1. What are you talking to analysts about today?
2. A key theme of the FAC is collaboration, how does your Finance organization use Cisco’s collaborative and UC tools?
3. What is the one key message you’d like analysts to take away from FAC?*

*Forward looking statement alert: “This presentation contains projections and other forward-looking statements regarding future events or the future financial performance of Cisco, including future operating results. These projections and statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in the projections or other forward-looking statements. Please see Cisco’s filings with the SEC, including its most recent filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q for a discussion of important risk factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those in the projections or other forward-looking statements.”
