Xavier Azemar

After getting my Telecommunications. Engineer degree, I started my career at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia as scholarship holder where I built a telephony over IP system based on Apple computers. I then spent 7 years at Teldat Catalunya, where I was managing technical pre- and post-sales, as well as R&D teams.

I joined Cisco in 2001, from 3Com where I was a Senior Consulting Systems Engineer, and was soon promoted to Commercial & Channel Systems Engineer Manager in Cisco Spain. In 2010 I was promoted to Cisco Architecture Lead responsible of EMEAR Partner Enablement for Enterprise Networks, Security, IoT and Software.

I have the experience of working in an international role and a good understanding of the channel and ecosystem Partner landscape in EMEAR.

Since November 2018 I'm the Head of the Cisco Barcelona Co-Innovation Center.
