Who says executives don’t use social media?
Here are some excellent examples of Cisco executives celebrating our Partners at Cisco Partner Summit 2015 #CiscoPS15.
Karen Walker and Sherri Liebo gave us the information we needed, whether we were attending in person, or participating online

Nick Earle started the week by telling us to stay tuned for an important Cloud announcement.
Cisco Openstack Private cloud solution announced at #CiscoPS15. 30% lower cost than AWS. This could be huge — Nick Earle (@nearle) April 28, 2015

Let’s remember that this event was all about the Partners. We were thrilled to see many of them get the chance to meet members of the Cisco family in person. Without doubt, one celebrity captured everyone’s attention: Steinar Sønsteby, CEO at Atea ASA.

Friends of @CiscoServices recognized Steinar Sønsteby from a 2014 video describing the Atea and Cisco partnership:
New social apps are introduced constantly, so who knows what you will see in 2016? For now, enjoy this recap of Partner Summit innovation lessons, as summarized in Mark Yolton’s video.

This is a great example of how Cisco executives are personally getting social. We live in a digital world with more people spending time on social apps than they do watching t.v. Our customers and partners live online so it is only natural that we as a company (and employees)hang out where our customers and partners do – and that is in social media! Olivia Newton-John sang “Let’s get physical”. I sing “Let’s get DIGITAL”.
Yep more and more exec are becoming accessible due to their involvement in social Media. Didn’t see Kim Majerus who is our VP for State, local and education sales who is rocking the boat in LinkedIn!
I like to see executives in social media and have faith that these executives are innovative and forward thinking to keep up with changing norms. I’m actually also impressed as I know social media takes time, so good to see these executives make time for it and consider it important (I know I don’t always have time for it).
What a week! So great to see Cisco leaders active in Social Media too!
As a social media person, it makes me smile when I see execs in social! Thanks, Slivia, for highlighting!
Cisco is big on Collaboration of which Social Media is a big piece. Both Collaboration and Social Media will change the way we tradionally communicate and get information. As a social media champion myself I am happy to see execs really using and embracing Social Media.
