Kip Compton has an interesting story. He’s an MIT grad, he was raised by a mom that was a computer programmer back when pretty much nobody’s mom was a computer programmer, and he’s Cisco’s VP of Cloud and Platform Services, which gives him loads of interesting insight into the state of cloud today. Tune in to Episode 3 of Cloud Unfiltered to hear what Kip has to say about:
- How he got into tech
- Why he’s led so many different groups at Cisco
- How the cloud conversation has changed over the past year and why that’s so important
- The difference between hybrid cloud and hybrid IT
- Why security, performance analytics, and the network are critical to hybrid IT
- Why the winners in the cloud transition will be the ones who master culture change
- What Cisco has to offer companies as they embrace the cloud

Kip – Great perspective. Cisco’s holistic perspective is really beneficial in the crowded conversation about the cloud, especially where that conversation can become siloed by niche vendors or singular topics.
