I've worked in this position for 5 years and am responsible for worldwide end-to-end ownership of Enterprise Networks SD-WAN, Meraki Technologies, DevNet, and Environmental Sustainability training that is featured in the Black Belt role-based learning maps. I collaborate with the BU and corresponding architecture stake holders in each GEO, Partner org, and the GPO team to drive Black Belt Partner Academy. Prior to joining Cisco, I had 10 years of experience working on a range of network consulting and infrastructure implementation projects, including the deployment of a 4-tier data center/disaster recovery center using Cisco's cutting-edge network equipment, as a Technical Architect in the Global Centre of Excellence team for SDN/SD-WAN/NFV technologies, SRE manager responsible to drive proof of concept work for a custom NFV solution built with open stack/TOSCA/Cyan - Blue Planet Orchestrator/Intel’s SR-IOV & DPDK & Cisco VPP. In my current work, I am tasked to maintain end-to-end content readiness for partner enablement around Cisco SD-WAN, Meraki, DevNet, and Environmental Sustainability through Black Belt, as well as ensuring that the Black Belt material is globally consistent and locally relevant to partners from all three GEOs. In addition, I promote adoption and connect all relevant country/GEO-specific trainings with the respective black belt track.
