Former Social Media and Digital Marketing Manager
No Longer with Cisco

Deborah is lead Social Media and Digital Marketing Manager within the Service Provider marketing team. With a strong background and personal interest in all things technical, she first came to Cisco in 1999 as a software engineer. She has been involved in a variety of programs ranging from custom web applications, business analysis, and community management. She is a key contributor of several award winning marketing campaigns, and is always pushing for more innovation - "no risk, no win." Any free time is devoted to adrenaline pumping adventures with her often reluctant husband, and catching up on the stack of too many unread books.
