Hey! I’m Sadé Tomlinson! I’m currently a Leader in Project & Program Management for Cisco’s Country Digital Acceleration (CDA) team, covering South Africa and parts of Africa. My Cisco journey is one I’m incredibly proud of. I started my career here as a red badge receptionist and through dedication and growth, worked my way up to my current leadership role. I am deeply passionate about creating a lasting impact and fostering sustainable living in communities that are less fortunate. I believe that technology is a powerful tool for change, and I am dedicated to providing digital skills to the youth in hopes of empowering them to build a better and brighter future. Outside of work, I am a proud Mom and an avid gym-goer. When I’m not at the gym, you’ll usually find me hiking with friends—staying active and enjoying the outdoors is what truly makes me happy.
