To Give Back is Ingrained in Our Culture
As we celebrate International Women’s Day, it’s time to take stock of what we are most passionate about as professional women. For me, as the leader of Cisco’s Partner Organization in APJC (Asia, Pacific, Japan and China), I am most passionate about Partners and the unique ways they bring Cisco’s te…
How Cisco’s Culture Inspired Me to Give Back
Prior to working at Cisco, I never volunteered much. It would always come to my mind with a powerful dose of heroic motivation, but mostly it would fade whenever errands of all kinds would flood my calendar. Been there, done that?

This Cisconian is Making Math Fun!
On May 5, 2005 I joined the fast-growing Cisco family in Bangalore. 5/5/5 – a mathematically pleasing number, indeed. That’s right, I’m a “numbers person” and a passion of mine is teaching math as a way to give back to society, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. I am sure the second you saw…
How Cisco Stepped Up When I was Diagnosed with MS
You never know when life will throw you a curveball. Two and a half years ago, I had just started a new role at Cisco and was getting off a plane in Denver, Colorado to meet my new team at an offsite. It was a time of change and excitement. There was just one inconvenient concern. Before the trip, I…
Between Hope and Possible there is a Bridge: Cisco’s Connected Recognition

This decision got me to consider better utilization of the holiday break (where C…
