cisco employee

It’s a numbers game for good! Every Cisco office. Every country. Every year. That’s the multiplier for how Cisco’s employees invest their working hours to give back to the local communities. Plus, it’s all about the local needs, too! In Ljubljana, where the Slovenian office is located, we used one o…

You may think I’m a crazy cat lady, who is going to go off on a pet-tangent, but I invite you to stay here with me for a moment. I’ll “purr-suade” you with my story. I’m actually more of a crazy-about-Cisco employee. It’s because of Cisco and it’s flexible workplace technology that allowed my cat, S…

An issue I can relate to – the lack of women in cybersecurity. While women represented 25% of computing professionals in 2015, they only represented 10% of the information security professions. Cisco gives us time to volunteer to make a difference in the world where we have a personal stake. I put m…

New challenges lead to the greatest rewards. That’s why, when I left a comfy job I had for many years, it wasn’t easy, but I jumped at the opportunity. Because working at Cisco has been a goal for me. The first week at any new job is an adventure (I’m a Territory Business Manager for Northeast Terri…

Recently I was giving the option of choosing between an Apple TV and a drone – and I happily chose a drone. But, I got asked more than a couple of times if it was a gift for my husband, even by people that know I am an engineer! That is why I am here, writing my first blog inspired by Girls in ICT D…

The first time I got on my Cannonade (that’s a really great bike, if you don’t know) something just felt right.…

Recently, I had a day to remember. And I had Cisco to thank for it. I’m a marketing leader for Spain and Portugal here at Cisco, and every day I’m astonished at the privilege of the Internet and social media. But this day was extra special and inspired me to share. To start, I woke up and I walked m…

As I drove to the office one Friday in March, little did I know that my day would end with me eating four beetles. Yes, you read that correctly, BEETLES! The little critters that you find in your garden that look quite like cockroaches. “Why on earth would you do that?” I hear you cry. I am often he…

I’m a Cisco recruiter. But I do more than that. We recruiters make dreams come true. As a military veteran, I can say that this, too, is more than just a job. Do we read a lot of resumes? Yes. We also help change the world. And we hire people who help change the world. There’s a lot of world-changin…
