No Longer with Cisco

I am a senior computer, data and telecommunications industry executive with over 25 years experience in sales, marketing, services and product management. In my current role, I lead Cisco’s Global Collaboration business, including the coordination of Cisco’s collaboration product portfolio development, sales, marketing, services, and channels, to market share leadership. I've also partnered with Ron Ricci, my colleague at Cisco, to co-author the book "The Collaboration Imperative: Executive Strategies for Unlocking Your Organization’s True Potential".
